Stages of Copar (Community Organizing and Participatory Action Research)

This document outlines the stages of COPAR (Community Organizing and Participatory Action Research). It describes the critical activities in the pre-entry, entry, and social investigation phases. In the pre-entry phase, activities include selecting a community and gathering background data. In the entry phase, activities focus on integrating with the community such as visiting leaders and residents. The social investigation phase involves deeper study of the community through identifying issues, leaders, and planning programs with community participation. The overall goal is to work with communities to understand their needs and empower them to enact positive health changes.
