Co‐production in the epidemiological clinic: A decentred analysis of the tensions in community‐based, client‐facing risk work

Abstract

Drawing on coproduced data with health trainers (lay health workers /journal/spol 203 attempt to reconcile this context with the risk-framed practices they are required to carry out.

Using Situated Interviews to Engage Frail Older People in the Co-production of Improved Emergency Healthcare

“…This triple prioritisation of space, senses, and talk, results in a holistic interview process whereby all detail is rendered important (N. Gale & Sultan, 2013). Methods that encourage participants to co-construct accounts of emplaced experience and enable reflection on action-incontext enhance co-production of qualitative data (Balbale et al, 2016;N. Gale et al, 2019; N. K. .…”
