Jones Finer C., Lewando Hundt G. (2001) The Business of Research: Issues of Policy & Practice, Oxford: Blackwell Publishers. (ISBN: 0-631-22824-1) pp. 160

The practice of research has long become more a business activity than scholarly pursuit. It takes particular know-how, not merely to secure financial backing and thence deliver to order, but to manage and keep control of an entire intervening research operation. Yet these academics are not normally trained in or formally prepared for.

This collection breaks new ground in its offering of frank commentary on aspects of the research process – based on first-hand experience and observation by experienced academics together with a senior representative of one key funding agency.

The collection is also notable for the sheer variety of research projects covered. Most contributors are reporting with reference to a particular ‘case-study’ experience. But these range from the most localised to the most multi-national; from the most specialised to the most multi-disciplinary undertakings.

 

Rifkin S., Draper A., Lewando Hundt G. (2000) Participatory approaches in health promotion and health planning: A literature review, Health Development Agency

(ISBN: 1-84279-002-1) pp. 126

As part of its exploratory research programme on inequalities and vulnerable groups the Health Education Authority set up ten expert groups (with seven key population groups (older people, low income groups, the homeless, refugees, people with mental health problems, lone parents, and children and young people) and with three different approaches (community, primary health care and mass media).

As a result of these consultations the HEA commissioned a literature review of Participatory approaches in health promotion and health planning. This work was carried out by Drs Susan Rifkin, Gillian Lewando-Hundt and Alizon Draper at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. This report contains a critical review of the contribution of participatory approaches to health promotion, including an assessment of the opportunities and challenges that they currently present. These are examined in the context of poverty alleviation and the reduction of health inequalities, issues central to health promotion in the UK today. The review also contains information on the methods and tools used in participatory approaches, illustrative case studies and information sources.
