Participatory Action Research with Disabled Adolescents in Nepal (PARDAN)
Ongoing research focuses on the development and evaluation of interventions to improve maternal and newborn health, child growth and development, adolescent nutrition, sexual and reproductive health, mental health, protection for vulnerable children, and community mobilization to reduce violence against women and girls.
Strategic Priorities
Our objectives are:
Research
To conduct formative research using qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, and participatory approaches to understand contextual opportunities to improve the health of women, children, and adolescents in low-, middle-, and high-income countries. For example our research on lifebox.
To evaluate complex interventions to improve the health of women, children, and adolescents through implementation science and controlled trials. See our research on community resource centres to improve the health of women and children in Mumbai slums.
Engagement
To promote and showcase the research enterprise as a collaboration between researchers, community members, healthcare providers, healthcare systems, and policymakers by increasing their engagement at each stage of the research cycle: asking questions, designing research, data collection, analysis, and reporting. For example our engagement about adolescent migrant health.
Through research, education and engagement with communities and policy-makers, to emphasize the inclusion of research participants and potential beneficiaries, with specific attention to those facing challenges linked with disability, poverty, gender-based discrimination, and structural violence. See our research on preventing gender-based violence.
