A Non-Traditional Research Method
Community-Based Participatory Research
(CBPR)

Today, I’d like to discuss…
CBPR Rationale Definition Underlying principals Challenges & Benefits
Application to a study “Statewide Assessment of Sexuality Education in
Florida’s Public Schools”

How are academic researchers perceived?

Rational for conducting research differently…
Increasing research evidence that: Poor health outcomes are associated with social & physical environment stressors
Skills, strengths & resources exist within communities & among members that can address stressors
![Page 5: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050723/56814f37550346895dbcd507/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Rational for conducting research differently…
Historically, communities involved in research have:
Rarely directly benefited from research findings
At times, been harmed by research process & dissemination of findings
Often been denied influence over the research process
![Page 6: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050723/56814f37550346895dbcd507/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rational for conducting research differently…
This has resulted in:Distrust of, & reluctance to participate in research
Interventions that are not as effective as possible
Calls for more comprehensive & participatory approaches to research & practice

Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)
Research that takes a partnership approach
All partners:Participate in each aspect of research processContribute their own expertiseShare responsibility & ownership
Goal:Enhance understanding & capacity to address priority issuesApply new understanding & capacity to develop & implement interventions tailored to community context & needs
Israel, Schulz, Parker, & Becker, 1998

ParticipationCan be health-enhancing in & of itself*
Basic tenet of empowerment
Improves quality of intervention design & implementation
Requires professional/researcher to give up some control

Principles of CBPR
Recognizes community as unit of identity
Begins with & builds on community’s strengths/resources
Facilitates collaborative, equitable partnership in all phases of research
Promotes co-learning & capacity building among partners
Integrates & creates a balance between knowledge generation & action for mutual benefit of all partners Schulz, et al., 1998
![Page 12: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050723/56814f37550346895dbcd507/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Principles of CBPR
Schulz, et al., 1998
Emphasizes & addresses community priorities – at multiple socio-ecological levels
Involves systems development through a cyclical & iterative process
Involves a long-term process & commitment
Disseminates findings to & by all partners & community
![Page 13: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050723/56814f37550346895dbcd507/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Challenges of using a CBPR approach
Very time consuming - for all partners
Trust among partners is fragile
Who to include in partnership – to ensure representation?
Including partners in all ‘day-to-day’ decision making
Dissemination of findings in timely, useful way
Risk of ‘taking a stand’ for social changeIsrael, et al., 1998; Lopez,
2005

Benefits of using a CBPR approach: Contributions to communities & science
Enhances relevance & use of data
Enhances intervention design & implementation
Increases quality & validity of research/findings
Has potential to translate research findings to guide development of further interventions & policy change
Israel, et al., 1998

Benefits of using a CBPR approach: Contributions to communities & science
Provides resources for communities involved
Joins partners with diverse expertise
Increases trust & bridges cultural gaps among partners
Interventions, & knowledge gained directly benefit the community
Israel, et al., 1998
