Grateful to have been awarded my DPhil. This post is just to say thank you to everyone who has helped me over the last 3 years of my PhD; especially my Community Health Worker colleagues - without whom this work would not have been possible. This thesis is dedicated to them.
Would any Hindi speaking medical colleagues be willing to review a one minute educational video for me to give feedback on accuracy? Thank you in advance

“There’s something scary about the degree of power that Western academics can exercise over poor people... if a foreign researcher wants to carry out an unethical RCT in a place like Kenya, they can.”
But the real problem is there aren’t sufficient ethical safeguards in place.
That RCT where they disconnected people's water in Nairobi was even more unethical than I understood when the original scandal broke

New research from @join_chic in @LancetGH confirms moral and technical failures in health systems design. Labor laws must be upheld, and #proCHW cadres with fair contracts should be prioritized. Join us in changing health systems design! Start here: shorturl.at/jEMS8

The debate about whether to #PayCHWs is over. It’s now time to shift the conversation to how to institute robust, equitable, long-term compensation models 💰 for professional CHWs (#proCHWs) across the globe. Check out more on compensation models: joinchic.org/resources/pay-c…
How to conduct a #Photovoice Study...a 🧵
📸Photovoice is a powerful research method that combines photography & narrative storytelling.
It allows participants to express their perspectives & experiences through visual imagery. Here you'll learn key things about this method...
📜Useful starting papers to assist you include:
- Seminal paper by Wang and Burris: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9158…
- A review of the use of photovoice in healthcare research: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs…
- Ethical considerations when using photovoice: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs…
I hope this thread has shed some light on the process of conducting a photovoice study. When in doubt, be led by the participants. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to share your experiences & good luck! 📷 #ResearchMethodology #qualitativemethods
