在本文中，作者介绍了概念映射作为一种有用的参与式研究方法，对公共卫生研究人员产生假设和发展理论感兴趣。作者首先概述了概念映射，它将定性方法与定量分析工具相结合，以产生概念之间关系的视觉显示。然后，他们提出了一个说明性的研究应用该方法来探索妇女对居住邻里因素与亲密伴侣暴力经历之间关系的看法。他们关注数据收集和分析程序，并展示了将概念图用于公共卫生研究目的的复杂性。最后，本文最后讨论了概念映射的独特贡献和挑战。
In this article, the authors introduce concept mapping as a useful participatory research method for public health researchers interested in generating hypotheses and developing theory. The authors first provide an overview of concept mapping, which combines qualitative approaches with quantitative analytical tools to produce visual displays of the relationship between ideas. Then, they present an illustrative research application of the method to the exploration of women's perceptions of the relationship between residential neighborhood factors and intimate partner violence experiences. They give attention to the data collection and analysis procedures and to demonstrating the intricacies of using concept mapping for public health research purposes. Finally, the article concludes with a discussion of the unique contributions and challenges associated with concept mapping.
