While it is important to support the development of methods for public participation, we argue that this should not be at the expense of a broader consideration of the role of public participation. We suggest that a rights based approach provides a framework for developing more meaningful approaches that move beyond public participation as synonymous with consultation to value the contribution of lay knowledge to the governance of health systems and health research.
虽然支持开发公众参与的方法很重要,但我们认为这不应该以更广泛地考虑公众参与的作用为代价。我们认为,基于权利的方法为制定更有意义的方法提供了一个框架,这些方法超越了将公众参与等同于咨询的概念,而是重视非专业知识对卫生系统和卫生研究治理的贡献。
