Abstract: | Participatory action research initiatives engage research participants as co-investigators and provide them with an avenue to explore their own experiences. It is not always easy, however, to determine how to involve participants in meaningful ways. Funding limitations and rigid methodological procedures pose barriers for creative approaches to inquiry. Nonetheless, the HIV program at the Hospital for Sick Children in collaboration with the University of Victoria, has taken an important step towards involving participants in a meaningful way--through the dissemination of research results. The present article describes the procedure used to share the role of researcher/author. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
