Abstract Background Effective health care requires services that are responsive to local needs and contexts. Achieving this in indigenous settings implies communication between traditional conventional medicine perspectives. Adequate interaction is especially relevant for maternal because cultural practices have a notable role during pregnancy, childbirth the postpartum period. Our work with communities Mexican state of Guerrero used fuzzy cognitive mapping identify actionable factors from...
A recurring issue in intercultural research is whose knowledge informs conceptualization and design of projects or interventions. Fuzzy cognitive mapping uses arrows weights to represent stakeholder on causal relationships can generate composite theories inform action. Cognitive accessible across different cultures, but participant weighting not always straightforward. We describe a procedure combine condense maps from stakeholders an alternative operator-independent adapted Harris’s...
Mixed methods research is well-suited to grapple with questions of what counts as valid knowledge across different contexts and perspectives. This article introduces Weight Evidence a transformative procedure for stakeholders interpret, expand on prioritize evidence from syntheses, focus engaging populations historically excluded planning decision making. presents the procedure's five steps using pilot data perinatal care immigrant women in Canada, family physicians birth companions.

Abstract Pregnant and parenting adolescents are more likely than adults to live with economic social vulnerability, contributing a higher risk of poorer maternal newborn health outcomes. These same factors contribute rates postpartum child protection investigations among adolescents. This study describes an innovative approach contextualize evidence on perinatal involvement in the perspectives pregnant Using Weight Evidence, evidence-based participatory procedure, we conducted conventional...
Evidence-informed and equity-oriented public health policy practice require that people’s voices, especially those less heard, be central to decision-making in (Serrant-Green 2011). Stakeholder engagement is particularly urgent the context of inequities, where perspectives who carry greatest burden inequities are often poorly reflected published literature Decision-makers need robust locally relevant tools take account both biomedical cultural understandings support participation planning,...
Fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) is a practical tool in participatory research. Its main use clarifying causal understandings from several knowledge sources. It provides shared substrate or language for sharing views of causality. This makes it easier different interest groups to agree what do next. Each map collection relationships with three elements: factors (cause and outcome), arrows linking factors, weights indicating the perceived influence each cause on its outcome. Stakeholder maps are...
Abstract Purpose This study describes an interdiscursive evidence-based priority setting process with pregnant and parenting adolescents their services providers. Methods A mixed methods literature review identified studies reporting on perinatal outcomes experiences of during pregnancy to 12 months post-partum published in Canada after 2000. We also calculated relative risks for common risk factors compared adult populations from 2012 2017 based data a provincial database maternal newborn...

Participatory research science deals with partnerships underlying research, governance and ownership of products. It is concerned relationships behind objectives methods. has gained significant traction in design health interventions, contextualising these to local settings stakeholder groups. Despite a massive increase participatory exercises, the field remains undertheorised, mechanisms for improving outcomes remain unclear. This realist review seeks understand how under what circumstances...
Abstract Background Evidence synthesis without meaningful stakeholder engagement can overlook factors considered relevant and influential by stakeholders. This paper presents an inter-discursive approach to grounding conventional mixed methods evidence in views of adolescent perinatal health Canada. Methods A parallel-results convergent review identified studies reporting on outcomes experiences adolescents during pregnancy 12 months post-partum, French or English, published Canada after...
