DöBra
DöBra is a comprehensive research program composed of different projects, all based on a public health palliative care perspective. Through these projects, we aim to raise issues about dying, death and grief to enable people to be better prepared for their encounters with the end-of-life. We do this in part by supporting competency development and supporting individuals, families, communities, and staff to better be able to deal with end-of-life issues, both within and outside health and social care systems, often using participatory action research approaches.
