Participation research studies the involvement and engagement of individuals or groups in various activities, programs, or initiatives. This can include participation in social, political, economic, or cultural activities, as well as participation in research studies or experiments. Researchers in this area may examine factors that influence participation, such as motivation, barriers, facilitators, and the impact of participation on individuals or communities. The goal of participation research is often to understand how to increase and improve participation in different contexts, in order to promote more inclusive and successful outcomes.
