Ethnography is qualitative research's most immersive method, inviting researchers into the everyday worlds of participants to observe, participate, and uncover the hidden practices and contexts that shape how people live.

WHO’s Framework to implement a life course approach in practice (2025) is a systematic and consultative effort to build a shared understanding of what a life course approach looks like in practice. A life course approach includes a good start to life, optimal development (of infants, children, adolescents and youth), adult health and well-being, healthy ageing and a dignified death at any age.

In this webinar, Dr. Ritu Sadana from WHO introduces the framework’s intent and ideas, and encourages continued engagement as WHO and partners refine and advance future work.
