Experiences in free listing and pile sorting

Publication year: 
1991

This brief article describes some of the problems the authors encountered conducting pile sorting and free listing with women in a slum area. It emerged that these women did not view their health problems in "lists" but rather as part of the socio-cultural context of their lives. The authors discover a more effective way of involving participants is to organise group meetings on specific topics.

Interest groups: 
This brief article may be of interest to researchers and health workers in India.
