Learning to Work in Collaboration with Women Living on a Low-income in Kingston, Ontario, Canada: A Participatory Action Research Project. NTQR [online]. 2021, vol.8, pp.547-553. Epub 24-Nov-2021.

This paper presents our experience following participatory methodologies to understand the experience of access to health and social services for women living on low-income in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Goals: The study aims are to describe and understand our experiences implementing a PAR study. Methods: In this study, we use participatory (PAR), art-based research (photovoice), and interpretive (hermeneutic phenomenological) approaches. Results: In this paper, we report our processes and experiences to date doing PAR with a not-for-profit organization in Kingston, Canada, both the challenges and the rewards, but most importantly the necessity of it for this context. This work has included the need to be adaptable and creative in light of COVID-19 restrictions, particularly while still striving to maintain study momentum. Conclusion: We have learned that a PAR study needs time, commitment and motivation. For meaningful, sustained change it must be enabled through partnership - one that honors and benefits those most in need.
