Community participation in research and action against alcoholism
Abstract
An epidemiological study of sickle cell disease in the Gadchiroli district of India established it as a major problem but resulted in no public initiative or action. In contrast, research and action against alcoholism using the participatory approach resulted in massive community participation and proved highly successful. Public health programmes need community participation, yet most research in this field is self-defeating because it alienates lay people.
