Enhancing the Science of Discovery in Public Health Systems and Services Research Through Participatory Research Methods

Abstract: The objective was to combine cost analysis and participatory research to identify actionable cost-saving opportunities in public health services for sexually transmitted infections (STI). This study used a mixed-methods approach of analyzing Florida public health data, combined with participatory research approaches to data collection including quantitative web-based surveys, qualitative in-depth interviews, and group discussions.

As a vehicle for change, participatory research is characterized by active collaboration between researchers and diverse stakeholders [1].…”
