B!RTH: a mixed-methods survey of audience members' reflections of a global women's health arts and science programme in England, Ireland, Scotland and Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Public engagement and science communication are growing as an important forum in the design and dissemination of research. The B!RTH programme is a partnership that uses theatre in combination with scientific expert panel discussions to raise awareness about the global inequality in women's health and access to healthcare. As part of this project, we assessed the views and experiences of audiences participating in B!RTH events. DESIGN:We conducted a multi-site mixed-methods survey using paper-based questionnaires. SETTINGS:Data were collected at four B!RTH theatre and science events: Dublin (Ireland), Edinburgh (Scotland), Geneva (Switzerland) and Liverpool (England) after the performance of four plays and three expert panel discussions. PARTICIPANTS:All audience members. METHODS
