Public engagement through circus arts
What we are actually solving
This project co-creates a public engagement initiative highlighting community perspectives on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It explores the perceived challenges, barriers and opportunities in tackling AMR in Cambodia, among communities and among participants in an ongoing clinical research study.
It also examines the ethical tensions embedded in over-the-counter use of antimicrobials and in existing and potential AMR control interventions, and tests the feasibility and acceptability of an electronic clinical decision-making tool for antimicrobial use.
Our approach
Three things we insist on
-
Co-creation
A public engagement initiative built with communities rather than delivered to them, highlighting their perspectives on AMR.
-
Ethical enquiry
Exploring the tensions around over-the-counter antimicrobial use with stakeholders across Cambodia.
-
Evaluation
The engagement activities themselves are evaluated, not only delivered.
