participatory health research

Participatory health research is a collaborative approach where community members, patients, and researchers work together to identify health issues, gather information, and develop solutions. It emphasizes active involvement of those affected by health concerns to ensure research is relevant, respectful, and more likely to lead to practical, sustainable changes. By sharing decision-making and combining different perspectives, participatory health research aims to improve health outcomes and empower communities to take charge of their well-being.
