Conclusion: From the study, it was clear that a participatory action research (PAR) accompanied with in depth intervenes was helpful to increasing health literacy, social health and psychological policies that improve one’s wellbeing. It is clear that community health nurses can employ PAR policies and strategies to plan for adoption of health intervention programs that might be helpful to promotion of a health program. The use of in depth interviews in action research is one of the best strategies that can be adopted.

PROFESSOR QUESTION
Studies regarding immigrant women are so beneficial. What are your thoughts on the eight workshops that were chosen for this study? Do you feel there should have been more or less? Should the workshops lasted longer or been more spread out? What are your thoughts on this and what is your reasoning? Thank you for your post!
