People in Public Health - New research literature database is launched
** Apologies for cross posting **
Public health researchers and practitioners can now access the People in
Public Health database, a new database covering research on lay health
workers and peer helpers.
With funding from the NIHR Service Delivery and Organisation programme,
the Centre for Health Promotion Research at Leeds Metropolitan
University has developed this database as part of its study to help
develop and support lay people in public health roles. The first phase
of the study involved carrying out a literature review including a
comprehensive search of electronic databases and sources of "grey"
literature. After screening for relevance, over 220 papers were
included in the review. Each of these papers were systematically coded
according to a range of categories, including country of origin, target
group and whether the lay person received payment. The resulting data
has been placed in a searchable database which is now available for
public access at: https://piph.leedsmet.ac.uk/main/litreview.htm
