强调参与的研究策略越来越多地被用于卫生研究。参与性研究打破了传统研究的线性模式，关注于与当地人一起进行的、由当地人进行的、而不是对他们进行的顺序反思和行动的过程。当地的知识和观点不仅得到承认，而且构成研究和规划的基础。参与性研究中使用的许多方法都来自主流学科，而常规研究本身涉及不同程度的参与。参与式方法与传统方法的关键区别在于权力在研究过程中的位置。我们回顾了目前在卫生研究中普及的一些参与式方法，重点讨论了对研究过程的控制问题。参与性研究带来了个人、专业和政治方面的挑战，超出了信息生产的界限。让“参与”成为问题，我们探讨了参与实践的挑战和困境。
Research strategies which emphasize participation are increasingly used in health research. Breaking the linear mould of conventional research, participatory research focuses on a process of sequential reflection and action, carried out with and by local people rather than on them. Local knowledge and perspectives are not only acknowledged but form the basis for research and planning. Many of the methods used in participatory research are drawn from mainstream disciplines and conventional research itself involves varying degrees of participation. The key difference between participatory and conventional methodologies lies in the location of power in the research process. We review some of the participatory methodologies which are currently being popularized in health research, focusing on the issue of control over the research process. Participatory research raises personal, professional and political challenges which go beyond the bounds of the production of information. Problematizing 'participation', we explore the challenges and dilemmas of participatory practice.
