The PHR approach is defined as including community members, health practitioners, and decision-makers as co-researchers, using local knowledge to reduce disparities in care, advocate for responsive health policy, and accelerate positive change in society as a whole. The book’s first half surveys themes essential to the development of the field, including evaluating PHR projects, training professionals in conducting PHR, and the ambitious work of the International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research. International perspectives showcase the varied roles of PHR in addressing urgent local health problems in their specific public health and sociocultural contexts.\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the topics covered:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemonstrating impact in participatory health research\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviewing the effectiveness of participatory health research: challenges and possible solutions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKids in Action—participatory health research with children\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipatory health research: an Indian perspective\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipatory health research in Latin America: scientific production on chronic diseases\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipatory health research in North America: from community engagement to evidence-informed practice           \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eParticipatory Health Research \u003c\/i\u003ebenefits those teaching and learning about participatory health research at institutions of higher education and in community settings, addressing diverse fields including health promotion and disease prevention, medicine and public health, quality of life, social work, and community development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-01-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030063788\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-92177-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 278\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47708664594572,"sku":"9783030063788","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030063788.jpg?v=1776782627","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030063788","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
