Item Participatory Research in Health: Setting the Context(0000) de Koning, Korrie; Martin, MarionThis chapter provides an overview of participatory research (PR) in health, emphasizing its educational, cultural, and socio-political underpinnings. The authors contextualize PR by discussing its methodologies, such as Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA), and their relevance in bridging gaps between professional models and community perspectives. Influenced by Freire's critical pedagogy, the text highlights PR's transformative role in fostering community empowerment and improving health outcomes. It also delves into the historical development of PR, its emancipatory goals, and the importance of linking knowledge production with action.
