Description¶

In its conclusion, the article recommends that practitioners write out the how of their participatory work. It states that "explicit description of the participatory research methods, tools, and processes along with documentation of the challenges and facilitators to implementation will strengthen PR and broaden its impact", noting that the nuts-and-bolts description of this work is often minimal to non-existent despite a long history of collaboration with non-academic stakeholders.
