Pop-up Events to Enhance Access to Primary Healthcare: Implementation Guide

The Pop-up Guide provides detailed information about how an intervention designed to support better access to primary healthcare evolved in one setting over five years. In the Pop-up Guide, we share what we learned through the experience of designing, implementing, and evaluating this community-based participatory intervention in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada as part of the IMPACT program of research (2013-2018).

This guide is a partner publication to the Collaboration for Spread Handbook https://doi.org/10.26181/28622153 In this Pop-up Guide, we illustrate the ways in which the Collaboration for Spread approach can be used to guide design, implementation, and evaluation of community-based participatory research. By sharing our experiences, we aim to support similar interventions in other settings and show how the approach works in practice. The Pop-up Guide will be relevant to all stakeholders involved in implementing pop-up health and social service events in community settings, but it is specifically designed for researchers or innovators who are supporting and monitoring the intervention with the express intention of learning from the process.
