PAR for AMR

On this channel we share public health information materials co-produced with our participants and partner organisations. Participatory Action Research (PAR) seeks to change (not only describe) the phenomena investigated by working WITH rather than ON those studied, enabling them to engage in some/all stages of research (e.g., formulation/design, data collection/analysis, dissemination/impact) (Kindon et al 2007, 2024). 
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) “…arises when the organisms that cause infection evolve ways to survive treatments… it's increased & accelerated by various factors such as misuse of medicines, poor infection control practices, & global trade and travel” (GOV.UK).
