In 1999-2000, we enrolled 601 pregnant women
• 92% Spanish-speaking • 85% born in Mexico • 54% < 5 years in U.S. • 96% living within 200% of poverty • 44% 6th grade education or less • 44% worked in agriculture during pregnancy • 84% had other agricultural workers in home

Rationale for Participatory Research
“…(if this nation is to transform society to eliminate healthdisparities and promote social justice), “a more democratic andecological approach to scientific study is necissary,” (one inwhich) “education between scientists and the public must take
place in both directions” - Dr. Steve Wing 1
“In the Process of Enlightenment, there can be onlyparticipants”
- Jurgen Habermas

“Gold Standard” Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR)
Emphasis: 1. Strengths based 2. Equitable engagement in
all facets of research 3. Co-Learning 4. Equitable distribution of
resources (ex. grant $) 5. Capacity building 6. Research and action 7. Address local priorities 8. Sustained engagement

CBPR as Praxis Science
“To exist, humanly is to name the world, to changeit. Once named, the world in its turn reappears tothe namers as a problem and requires of them a newnaming…But while to say the true word.. praxis- is to transform the world, saying that word is not theprivilege of some few persons, but the right of
everyone. Consequently, no one can say a true word alone – nor can she say it for another, in a
prescriptive act which robs others of their words." - Paulo Freire

Benefits of CBPR: “Relevance, Rigor and Reach”1
• Relevance: • Ensures study focus addresses needs of the population
• Rigor: • Incorporates nuances of culture and context related toprobabilities (and diversity) of exposures, study adherenceand reducing attrition
• Reach: • Ensures study findings are translated and framed within thebounds of popular interests, identifying key venues fordissemination that are popular (ex. snapchat) or wherepeople are most attentive (ex. PTA meeting)

Youth Participatory Action Research(YPAR)
• Centers youth as co-researchers
• Enhanced focus on capacity building and education
• Emphasis on making space for youth’s voices
• Functions as somewhat “bounded” CBPR because potential age, experience and knowledge gaps

Salinas mural on pesticides' impact on farmworkers opens for viewing Friday

Art and science will blend as a new Salinas mural
depicting a renowned local researcll group's efforts
to understand pesticides' impacts on farmworl<ers
and tlleir families is unveiled this Friday.
(Photo: PROV/DEDICSUMB
Sa{jnas Center) Tile ideas stem from University of California,
Berl<eley's Center for Health Assessment of Mothers and Cllildren of Salinas, or CHAMACOS, the longest-running study of pesticides and
other environmental exposures in a farmworker community.
The CHAMACOS study began studying pregnant women in the Salinas Valley in 1999.
They have since added another cohort, 9-year-olds, to the study, totaling more than
600 participants. "Charracos" is also Mexican slang for "little chi ldren."
The study's youth council came up witll the idea of using mural as a medium for
communicating scientific researcll. Tile council is comprised of eight ll igh school youth
who were part of tile study and are now all going to college, except for one entering the
milrtary, said James Nolan, community outreach coordinator for CHAMACOS.

Major Challenges:New CBPR/YPAR work
• Need community ties to build community ties • Time is cultural, yet researcher time finite & expensive • Impossible to anticipate all community input when writing grant proposals, need to leave space for flexibility • Hard to anticipate discretionary costs in grant budgets (ex. for action or education) to be determined by the community • Many goals require more than 3-5 years • Step up and step back: hold space for, and amplify, community voices, include your own as needed

Tips for Groups Just Starting Out
• Do you need to start a new center, a sub-study ora subcontract?
• Plan to do the work at least 3-5 years
• Hospitals and clinics make great partners • Core health goals align • Help advise on research rigor • Better chances of accessing relevant resources (ex.scientific equipment, conference rooms, bulk discounts) • Often stabile and predictable • Strong fiduciary and administrative infrastructure • Often have strong communications networks that can betapped and hospital systems are a key group interested in research findings
