Session Information
Long term collaborators Lyn Phillipson and Louisa Smith reflect on both their successes and mistakes in engaging a diverse range of stakeholders in Participatory Action research to promote health and wellbeing. Attendees will not only learn from their insights, but will also be given opportunities to experience some ‘creative’ methods which may assist them in their future health research engagements.
