About PRAM (Participatory Research at McGill)
At Participatory Research at McGill (PRAM), we try to build reproducible procedures to increase dialogue across cultural divides. These divides include those based on factors such as ethnicity, religion, age. Our societies are increasingly divided; we are interested in ways to bring people together on an equal footing. Our first tool set supports engagement of stakeholders in ways that respect the diverse worldviews of researchers, decision-makers, healthcare providers, patients, and communities. Our second tool set supports co-production and use of knowledge to improve health and healthcare globally.
