Journal of Participatory Medicine

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Participatory Medicine is the official journal of the Society for Participatory Medicine.

The journal's mission is to transform the culture of medicine by providing an evidence base for participatory health and medicine.

It aims to advance both science and practice across a variety of participatory medicine areas of focus, including: patient and caregiver empowerment; patient-clinician partnership; use of technology to improve patients’ health and health care; participatory design and citizen science.

Papers are published in six areas: research articles, editorials, narratives, case reports, reviews, and updates on related research in other media.

It will explore how participation affects outcomes, resources, and relationships in healthcare; which interventions increase participation; and the types of evidence that provide the most reliable answers.
