Seminar details
Title: The application of participatory methods: selecting approaches according to need
Date: Wednesday 13th September
Time: 15:00-16:00 (UK time)
Abstract
The strengths-based Coronavirus Chronic Conditions and Disabilities Awareness (CICADA) study has explored the impact of the recent pandemic on health conditions, service access, social support and mental well-being for people from minoritised ethnic groups with disabilities living in the UK. This talk will draw from this study to demonstrate different approaches that can be used to include, engage, collaborate with and give voice to the different people affected by research and its outputs. Specifically, the talk will explore a range of asset-based participatory approaches, how and when each type might best be used, and the practicalities of their deployment.
