Abstract
Participatory research is the science of partnerships underlying research, concerned with research governance, ownership of research products and relationships behind research objectives and methods.By integrating knowledge translation into the research, participatory research proposes an alternative to the view of knowledge translation as a multi-stage process where a researcher might pass on research products to a different entity that shares the information for action, and from there to a third entity that acts on it.The common strand behind the quite different schools of participatory research is that research should be in respectful partnership with people; it is not about researchers working on, for or about people.Modern participatory research embraces different objectives and philosophies through several areas of application.The first application addresses research objectives, typically calling for mixed methods (combining qualitative and quantitative techniques), with participation at different points in the research cycle.Second, modern participatory research is highly relevant in adaptive management, including management of primary health care.Third, participatory research is a lens for patient engagement and patient-centered outcomes in the clinical context.A fourth application of participatory research is as an intervention: participatory research moves people.It mobilizes resources for health objectives, and can thus be pivotal to program sustainability and for forging health-promoting inter-sectoral linkages like environment, education and employment.If primary health care is a family medicine responsibility, participatory research offers family medicine a valuable science and toolbox complementing the accepted clinical toolboxes.Through shared conceptualization of problems and decision making about solutions, participatory research increases participants' capacity to identify and address their own issues.It increases decision-maker and service provider ability to mobilize resources and to improve policies.Among clinicians it enhances professional practices.In the bigger social picture, all this promotes social justice, self-determination and knowledge utilization.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
