Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Participatory research is problem-focused or context-specific research centered on a particular problem involving all participants. Participatory research is similar to action research, in which each person or group engaged in the process is committed to improvement through continuous interaction among dialogue, research, action, reflection, and evaluation. Quantitative research refers to a study in which items can be counted or measured and statistics can be used to analyze the results. Qualitative research refers to a study that involves phenomena as they naturally occur.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The emergence of a healing consciousness in which communities envision a mindbodyspirit connection with humanity can only occur through dialogue. Dialogue provides the critical mass for community transformations to take place. Dialogue enables communities to see their inequities and transform their environment through healing interventions. This spirit of openness implies people are willing to listen to others and negotiate with an understanding of opposing viewpoints. Empowerment is a process of hope, trust, faith, and critical thinking based on mutual concerns and love for other human beings. Empowerment is a dualistic interactive process involving investment in understanding yourself and others and a willingness to impact change for the betterment of humanity.
