Participatory curriculum development for health and independent living for disabled people: a qualitative study of participant experiences.

Participatory curriculum development is an approach that draws on participatory research philosophy by engaging members of intended audiences in the curriculum development process. This is a fairly new approach to curriculum development, which has seldom been applied in health promotion and, to our knowledge, has not previously been used to develop curriculum with disabled people. In this project, participatory curriculum development was used to both develop a new curriculum and revise an existing curriculum for in-person, web-based delivery.
