Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Die „International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research“ (ICPHR) ist eine internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft mit dem Ziel, die Stellung der Partizipativen Gesundheitsforschung (PGF) in der Praxis, Forschung und Politik zu stärken. Die ICPHR setzt ihren Fokus auf die systematische Zusammenführung internationaler Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen in der Anwendung des partizipativen Forschungsansatzes zur Verbesserung der Gesundheitslage sozial benachteiligter Bevölkerungsgruppen. Sie strebt die Formulierung von gemeinsamen Grundprinzipien, Gütekriterien und Leitlinien für PGF an. Als relativ neuer wissenschaftlicher Ansatz fehlt bisher sowohl für die PGF als auch für andere Formen der Partizipativen Sozialforschung eine allgemeine, international anerkannte Grundlage.

Ziel

In einem ersten Positionspapier definiert die ICPHR die Kernmerkmale der PGF. Dieser Aufsatz stellt die zentralen Aussagen des Papiers vor.

Ergebnis

Die ICPHR versteht PGF nicht als Methode, sondern als eigenständigen wissenschaftlichen Ansatz. Der Ansatz wird anhand von 11 Kernmerkmalen definiert. Die Merkmale beschreiben u. a. den Forschungsprozess, die Methodologie, die erkenntnistheoretische Grundlage und Validitätskriterien.

Abstract

Background

The International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research (ICPHR) has the goal of strengthening the role of Participatory Health Research (PHR) in practice, research and policy. The work of the ICPHR is focused on bringing together systematically the knowledge and experience of PHR in different countries for the purpose of improving the health of disadvantaged communities. The ICPHR is working to develop common principles, guidelines and quality criteria for conducting PHR. As a relatively new research approach, PHR has to this point lacked an internationally recognized definition and scientific basis.

Goal

The first position paper of the ICPHR defines the core features of this approach. This article presents key issues raised in the paper.

Result

The ICPHR understands PGF as being a research approach rather than a research method. The approach is characterized by eleven key criteria. These criteria address such issues as research process, methodology, epistemology and validity.
