'Permission to participate?': a qualitative study of participation in patients from differing socio-economic backgrounds
Participation in health care is an important element of self-management in chronic illness, and policy emphasises patient’s choice. Evidence suggests that this may be inequitable and inadequate, since active participation is strongly associated with socio-demographic variables. This qualitative study explores the perceptions of participation in people with differing socio-economic status with themes related to health literacy and relationship with health-care professionals. Patients perceive participation in different ways, related to their prior expectations of a health-care consultation, cultural expectations and social position. Policies aimed at simply improving ‘health literacy’ and choice will not be successful if these broader disparities are not addressed.

Abstract
Participation in health care is an important element of self-management in chronic illness, and policy emphasises patient’s choice. Evidence suggests that this may be inequitable and inadequate, since active participation is strongly associated with socio-demographic variables. This qualitative study explores the perceptions of participation in people with differing socio-economic status with themes related to health literacy and relationship with health-care professionals. Patients perceive participation in different ways, related to their prior expectations of a health-care consultation, cultural expectations and social position. Policies aimed at simply improving ‘health literacy’ and choice will not be successful if these broader disparities are not addressed.
