About

This project extends the work of the Global Road project, a global deliberative dialogue study that established primary care research priorities through a series of discussions with primary care providers, policy makers, and researchers from around the world. In the current phase, our objective is to further identify regional and global primary care research priorities by conducting a cross-sectional survey among a wider global audience.

Impact

GLOBAL MAP aims to inform a shared global research agenda to strengthen primary care. By capturing diverse stakeholder perspectives, it aims to highlight essential research priorities to improve teamwork, equity, and service delivery helping health systems worldwide design more adaptable, and people centered models of care.
