intervention research methods
When implementing a community-based participatory research health promotion project within the mentally ill population, there will be some pros and cons. The goal of this type of project is to address the need for improved transdisciplinary and intervention research methods and approaches, and to strengthen the science of community engagement in addressing health disparities in socially disadvantaged population groups (Castille, 2018). Some pros of doing this project would be the ability to see where there are gaps in providing services and care for the mentally ill population. Also, the ability to determine where community resources should be allocated to. It would be a great way to determine what they mentally ill feel they need more of in resources in the community. Cons of this project would be the reliability of information you may receive from some of the mentally ill population. They are generally poor historians and may not paint a clear picture of their day to day life. Getting information from a local mental health facility, homeless shelters, and other current community resources that the mentally ill utilize would be beneficial as well as gaining information from the mentally ill themselves.
