Digital Storytelling for Global Health Research and Action

“Digital Storytelling creates a space for the storyteller to share a compelling and meaningful account of their experience, facilitating reflection, action, and change with the goal of improving health outcomes.”

Professor Barbara Naggayi

What are the data problems that this Lab is working to solve?

This Digital Storytelling (DST) Lab will address important barriers which limit data quality and research dissemination, using a participatory method of feminist public health research.

This Lab will undertake a rigorous literature review and scoping study, and will incubate the DST approach through a needs assessment survey and follow up discussions to assess adaptations for scale-up.

This project involves preparing an evidence-based, practice-informed, health-focused DST package consisting of guidelines, recommendations, and innovation, which can be adapted into tools and training materials for sharing with others in Canada and beyond.
