dc.descriptionThis article is part of Development for Health, which gathers selected articles introduced by Eleanor Hill and edited by Deborah Eade for Oxfam's Development in Practice Reader series. It illustrates how participatory research methodologies such as Participatory Rapid Appraisal (PRA) and Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA), originally used in rural settings, can adapt to urban health assessments.
dc.description.abstractThis paper discusses the use of participatory research to assess health needs in a small British town. Emphasizing the importance of involving both community members and relevant professionals, the author argues that participatory research, while powerful, benefits from being complemented by traditional research data. Through the initiative, community involvement was secured, enhancing project impact and ensuring authority engagement. The work highlights how participatory methods promote community empowerment, leading to sustainable development plans and more engaged decision-making.
