As novel, complex social problems increase, especially those
involving vulnerable people who reside in challenging places, the
limitations of conventional research methods implemented by just
one or two investigators become apparent. Research and development
alternatives are needed, particularly methods that engage teams of
researchers in real world problem solving while simultaneously
generating practice- and policy-relevant knowledge. Research
methods that effectively tap the expertise of everyday people,
especially those impacted by these targeted social problems, are a
special priority because academic researchers often lack
experiential knowledge that stems from direct, everyday encounters
with these vexing problems. Participatory action research (PAR)
responds to these manifest needs. It provides a methodological
structure and operational guidelines for preparing and deploying
people from various walks of life as co-researchers, and it
provides a proven strategy for generating practice- and
policy-relevant knowledge as problem-solving in real world contexts
proceeds.
