Description¶

For partnerships navigating choice points, the article offers Figure 2, which contains "examples of participatory research methods and tools that have been used at various steps in the research process". It recommends that researchers new to PR "use this figure to identify examples of the type of participatory tools that can be used for various research tasks", and points to published exemplars such as Jackson's work with marginalized women analyzing qualitative data and public health case studies involving stakeholders in data analysis and interpretation.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Access to the participatory research literature providing rich and diverse examples to guide partnerships through choice points

Constraints¶

• The article notes it can be difficult to isolate concrete descriptions of how research was collaboratively conducted, so these examples are offered only as a starting point

Target Learners¶

• Researchers new to participatory research
• Academic-community partnerships selecting methods

Target Learning Goals¶

• Matching participatory tools to specific research tasks such as collaborative data analysis and dissemination

Claims¶

• The article asserts that potential impact and social change rise with increasing stakeholder participation [+W]

Related Strategies¶

• Explicitly document participatory methods, tools, processes, challenges, and facilitators
• Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR)
