The MAYA project uses a co-research approach, where cancer survivors are not just participants but active members of the research team. This collaborative method draws on the principles of Participatory Action Research and Patient and Public Involvement (PPI), breaking down traditional barriers between researchers and participants.
By involving survivors at every stage, the project ensures their lived experiences guide and enrich the work. Their unique perspectives bring deeper insight into the challenges and needs of people affected by cancer, leading to more meaningful and impactful outcomes.
