Research Group Leads: Dr Alison Warren and Fiona Fraser
This research group seeks to bring together people from a range of backgrounds to further understand how participation in daily life influences health and well-being. Participation occurs when an individual and/or a community is involved in activities, which provide a sense of engagement.
Participation is defined as ‘involvement in a life situation’ (WHO, 2001) and can be a health and well-being outcome.
Participation is concerned with people, their occupations within their cultural, economic, physical, political and social environment.
