4. Community-Based Participatory Research  What is CBPR?  Why is it useful?  What is knowledge, attitudes, skills are needed?  Where are resources for support?

5. CBPR  A paradigm, strategy, or approach

7. CBPR  Requires a collaborative relationship with the community: Co-learning, Co-teaching, Co-service, Co- operation Co-learning, Co-teaching, Co-service, Co- operation

9. In participatory action research:  Community members partner with researchers to: Define research questions Define research questions Design and implement research Design and implement research Interpret, disseminate, and apply results Interpret, disseminate, and apply results

10. Ideally,  CBPR results in a lasting and sustainable change---social inequity is reduced. Change occurs at collective/community level Change occurs at collective/community level

11. Why use CBPR?  Health Disparities Persistent Persistent Complex Complex Linkages to social-ecological factors Linkages to social-ecological factors

13. Where does an intervention fit? Intrapersonal Interpersonal Organizational Community Ideological

14. Why CBPR?  Communities make it a condition of their participation

15. Dilemma: You’ve partnered with an organization and have received funding to develop an intervention (exercise program) that will support healthy weight loss. Your proposal describes an RCT of the intervention. The organization refuses to continue unless all members have equal access to the program.

22.  Difference necessarily means bias will be present 2,3 Cognitive Cognitive Emotional Emotional 2 Pettigrew & Tropp, (2006). A Meta-Analytic Test of Intergroup Contact Theory.

23. Necessary Conditions to Reduce/Eliminate Bias  Shared Goal

24. Social Ecological Perspective Intrapersonal Interpersonal Organizational Community Ideological

25. Some questions to ask  How do I know my community partners and I share the same goal?  How do I know we mean the same thing when we talk about our goals?  What are the different ways that my community partners can express their goals to me?

26. Strategies to Reduce Bias  Endorsement of the collaboration

27. Some questions to ask  Is my research partnership with the community supported and endorsed by my funder? My department? My program?  Is my community partner’s relationship with me endorsed by its board of directors? By other boards or agencies that the organization is networked with? By key public activists in the community?

28. Strategies to Reduce Bias  Cooperative work on a shared task.

29. Questions to ask  Whose work is affected, assumed, or changed by this project?  What tasks can be shared and accomplished cooperatively (side by side)?

30. Strategies to Reduce Bias  Create equity between all parties

31. Questions to ask  What resources do I bring to the table?  What resources do my partners bring to the table?  What is are the hierarchical relationships between my community partners?  What are the hierarchies between me and my partners?  How are these hierarchies addressed, reinforced, or accommodated?  Who talks to whom about what parts of the project? Who defines roles? Who reports to whom?
