Comic storyboards that participants co-create can function as generative data collection tools when integrated into interviews or focus groups in a qualitative-rhetorical study. As a preliminary stage of a study, user testing comic storyboards can help ensure that they are generative and participant-informed, the latter being especially important when researching issues related to participant vulnerability, such as stigma. This article discusses the exigency, user testing, adaptation, and affordances of comic storyboards as data collection or story elicitation tools in a study of provider-enacted HIV stigma. Our user testing of comics storyboards enabled us to implement more responsive, participant-centered, and participatory forms of data collection. Given that the goal of this study is to develop anti-stigma provider training materials in the form of comics, participants' contributions through user testing not only helped us improve our data collection in the main study, but also generated input that informed our conceptualization and drafting of provider training comics.
参与者共同创作的漫画故事板可以在定性修辞研究的访谈或焦点小组中作为生成性数据收集工具。作为研究的初步阶段，用户测试漫画故事板可以帮助确保它们具有生成性和参与者知情性，后者在研究与参与者脆弱性相关的问题（如污名）时尤为重要。本文讨论了漫画故事板作为数据收集或故事引出工具在研究提供者实施的 HIV 污名中的紧迫性、用户测试、适应性和优势。我们对漫画故事板的用户测试使我们能够实施更具响应性、以参与者为中心和参与性的数据集收集方式。鉴于本研究的目标是以漫画的形式开发抗污名提供者培训材料，参与者通过用户测试的贡献不仅帮助我们改进了主要研究中的数据收集，而且还为我们的提供者培训漫画的概念化和起草提供了信息。
