Improved methodological development of participatory epidemiology
Published: 28 January 2022
Participatory epidemiology (PE) is a methodology initially developed in veterinary epidemiology research to collect epidemiological data in contexts where conventional quantitative data and statistics are unavailable. It has contributed to important new knowledge on animal disease in low-income countries. Read a new blog post about PE at SLU's global blog.
Erika Chenais, associate professor in infectious disease epidemiology at the National veterinary institute (SVA) and Klara Fischer, associate professor in rural development at the Department of Urban and Rural Development, SLU, have been guest editors for a special issue about participatory epidemiology that was recently published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine. Now they have written a blog about it.

In the post you will also find links to the special issue and all the publications.
