Description
Concept Mapping Defined
The ability to collect ideas and opinions on a topic from any number of independent stakeholders and quickly integrate the ideas into a series of easy-to-read graphics.
Why Concept Mapping?
- Blends the best of qualitative and quantitative methods
- Seeks and organizes variation in stakeholder knowledge, opinion
- Gives flexible design and participation options
- Creates a framework that is multi-purpose, taking you from planning to implementation through evaluation
Concept Mapping Process
- Planning for concept mapping
- Generate ideas
- Structure the ideas
- Analyze the "maps"
- Interpret the "maps"
- Put the "maps" into action
This poster shows how concept mapping was used in the planning "The Local Public Health Collaborative Skin Cancer Prevention Project", a program to reduce skin cancer rates in the North Shore / Cape Ann area, and to strengthen the capacity of local public health to be able to work more collaboratively.
