What Is Participatory Health Research?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Participatory health research is practiced in many countries around the world, drawing from different traditions which are based in various cultures and time periods. In spite of the wide variation in theory and practice, the different traditions show remarkable similarities. This chapter identifies 11 common principles based on the first position paper of the International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research (ICPHR). References to publications from various countries serve to illustrate each of the 11 criteria.
