Invitation for Contributions
"Working Together on Women's Health Research"
(working title)
You are invited to contribute to an exciting new venture in women's
health research. We are producing a handbook that will help researchers
to partner with others in the community, universities, and health
services to facilitate research on women's health. The handbook will
build on the document General Guidelines for Health Promotion Research
Proposals, produced by the Atlantic Health Promotion Research Centre in
1995.
We are inviting contributions of two types: (see page 2 for details)
1) one of five major sections of the handbook; and
2) short contributions on experiences, insights, stories, personal
accounts, and lessons learned from women's health research. These may
take any publishable form, e.g. illustrations, poems, stories.
Purpose:
To support women's health research in Canada through a plain language
handbook that explores what research means to different people and in
different contexts, with special reference to social diversity and
social marginalization.
Goals: bring together and share the knowledge and lived experience of
people; encourage research approach through which skills and
partnerships can be built and shaped; facilitate access to research
funds through sharing of knowledge sources and skills; identify and
address gaps in current research methods on women's health.
These goals will be accomplished through an exploration of the factors
(e.g. social, cultural, economic) that affect women's health research.
Personal accounts and insights will be used to illustrate the challenges
and promises of women's health research. Both community & academic
perspectives will be presented in each section of the handbook.
