Description 1 online resource Series SAGE Research Methods. Cases SAGE Research Methods. Cases Summary Community-based participatory research principles were used to develop a conceptual framework of citizenship for people experiencing mental health problems and/or other life-disrupting events in Scotland. This case study illustrates the use of a participatory methodology replicating an approach adopted as part of an international collaboration in understanding citizenship across diverse social and cultural contexts. Reflecting on the approach taken, we argue that it encourages the development of a model of citizenship that is entirely grounded in the perspectives and lived experiences of the participants. We consider the importance of ́œmeaningfullý engaging peer researchers throughout the research process, exploring the methodological issues, challenges, and opportunities when working in partnership. The importance of adopting a reflexive approach throughout the research approach is emphasized. We consider how the need for adequate resources, preparatory work, training, and research management is key to the success of a community-based participatory research approach with peer researchers. Finally, we suggest making appropriate adaptations to any research methodology when working with diverse populations, particularly groups who are ́œseldom heard́ within society, to inform health and social policy and practice Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on XML content Subject Community health services -- Research -- Scotland -- Case studies.
