Copyright Date: 2003
Pages: 12
Authors: Susan G. Parker for The Access Project
Description: This guide shows how research that actively engages community groups in all phases of the research process can lead to real-world policy changes that improve access to health care. It describes a survey of over 10,000 uninsured people that The Access Project conducted in collaboration with 24 community groups across the country, and presents case studies illustrating how these groups used the research process to both enhance their organizational capacity and achieve actual policy change.
