Harnessing citizen science in preventive health research, policy and practice

Leah will discuss how citizen science approaches have been used in preventive health and their impacts for communities and policy and practice, how citizen science complements and aligns with existing approaches to engage the public in research and decision making, as well as the opportunities and challenges of incorporating citizen science within the work of policy and practice organisations.
