Abstract

For a group co-producing participatory homeless health
research, the COVID-19 pandemic presented challenging
circumstances, notably physically distanced working. With
limited technology among the research team and participants
alike, remote research – especially participatory research
– was not easy. However, participatory approaches are
important because they enable teams to bring together a
wide range of collective expertise and experience that is vital
for addressing need, especially during health crises. Another
benefit is their focus on reflexivity: that is, taking stock of
one’s own positions, beliefs, and experiences; understanding
their impact; and using this to inform working practices. This
varied expertise and a process of ongoing reflexivity helped us
devise creative and practical solutions to some of the obstacles
to co-producing research posed by the pandemic.
