The Research
• Useful
• Active
• Progress and recording for self,
project and wider dissemination
• Praxis
• Academic links
Underlying philosophy
• Poor health and poor living conditions
tend to go hand in hand.
• Good health, especially when related
to empowering activities, contributes
to ameliorating social disadvantage for
both the individual and consequently
the community.
