Existing literature on participatory lacks practical details influence success does not address emergent issues such as strategies enhance virtual data collection. In this tutorial, our objective provide guidance how prepare for, conduct, analyze sessions visualization. The primary audience tutorial research teams, but guide relevant organizations other professionals looking their patient populations they can use a procedural manual. This start-to-finish provides to: setting objectives applying theoretical foundations, plan match project goals; conduct different formats with varying populations; carry out effective analysis. We also methods be implemented context resource constraints. are: glossary terms, pros cons variations type session, preparation checklist, sample session selection useful prompts, examples surveys supplement process. </sec>
