The purpose of the book is to provide researchers with a framework to conduct research in a culturally sensitive manner with individuals, families, and communities in diverse cultural settings in the United States, as well as in a global context within the context of three aims: (1) To understand and describe the nature and extent to which a particular problem occurs; (2) To understand the etiology or potential factors associated with the occurrence of a particular problem; (3) To evaluate programs or interventions designed to ameliorate or eliminate a problem. For each of these three aims, applications of different research methods with various population groups are discussed with considerable detail. The work presented falls into different sides of the emic–etic continuum, with some studies taking a more emic perspective (i.e., Chapter 2, a mixed methods study with American Indian populations), others presenting more of an etic approach (i.e., Chapter 3, a multicountry study of drug use in Central America), and yet others presenting an emic–etic distinction that is less salient (i.e., Chapters 4–6, a longitudinal studies of ecological factors and drug use in Santiago, Chile; a longitudinal study of ecological factors and PTSD in the City of Detroit; and a randomized clinical trial and community-based participatory research project both also conducted in Detroit). Two central themes that guided this work are that culture is not static, rather it is fluid and changing, and that cross-cultural researchers should avoid making sweeping generalizations that risk taking on essentialist characteristics. The book concludes with a call for anyone conducting cross-cultural research to include an intersectionality lens, one that encompasses a broader range of multiple identities, into their work.Less

Effective conservation aims to integrate, rather than compete, with the needs of the human communities that share the landscape with biological communities. This chapter includes tips for planning, implementing, and evaluating techniques to connect classrooms and communities with conservation. Conservation education techniques, such as service-learning, issue investigation, and project-based learning involve students, teachers, and community members in finding creative approaches to issues, such as backyard habitat restoration and solid waste management. Community-based research, citizen science, and mapping are techniques developed to work with students and adult learners. The techniques described in this chapter bring real conservation issues to the forefront of communities and classrooms, and ultimately help achieve conservation goals.Less

This Chapter provides a brief historical account and introduction to community-based participatory research (CBPR), important principles and methodological considerations and issues, and an illustrative example of its application to Photovoice. Examples are provided from the “Good Neighborhoods”, a large community-based participatory research project underway in the City of Detroit. A central premise of this chapter is that the CBPR approach is congruent with the values and respective missions of the profession of social work (e.g., self-determination, democratic leadership, empowerment, etc.). The second theme of the chapter adds knowledge to the literature on university–community partnerships and the roles foundations can play in creating dynamic and systemic community change when a collaboration consisting of the three is formed. The third foci is Photovoice, an intervention that has been used worldwide to promote social change and to empower individuals who have historically not been given a voice in their community.Less

This chapter examines the scientific, methodological, and practical foundations of community-based intervention research that bear on ethical concerns. It begins with a discussion of the role of partnerships in community research, including partnership models and related ethical challenges, special considerations in working with vulnerable or disadvantaged communities, and suggestions for reconciling multiple agendas. It then discusses ethics related to methodologic issues in community-based intervention research, including intervention strategies, data collection, and study design. It also discusses ethical issues related to research participants, interdisciplinary and professional relationships, and relationships of science to society. The chapter concludes with a brief overview of ethical issues in conducting research with Internet communities or collecting data using the Internet and in community-based research in international settings.Less

This chapter seeks to demonstrate the value added from community participation to the research process itself. It shows how Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) methods are useful in the dissemination and implementation (D&I) of research findings and some of the lessons from CBPR for D&I research. It discusses challenges that can play out in participatory research, followed by a more detailed examination of the specific ways in which a CBPR approach can enhance the D&I of research findings through collaborative design, analysis, dissemination, and research translation. A case study of a community-university-health department CBPR project that endeavored to study and improve the health and working conditions of restaurant workers in San Francisco's Chinatown District is presented. Then, some of the methods used to involve all partners in study design, data analysis, and translation of findings into action, as well as some of the benefits of doing so, are discussed. Finally, key lessons learned, through this and other CBPR efforts, are shared, and their implications for improving the breadth and effectiveness of the critical dissemination and implementation phases of research are summarized.Less

University and community partnerships are embedded in institutional contexts that create conflicting demands and require collaborative approaches that balance competing needs and interests and focus on accomplishing shared goals for community change. This chapter offers a case study of a partnership between a Nashville-based human service organization and a university-based research team that developed for the purpose of conducting a community needs assessment to fulfil the requirements for a Promise Neighborhoods Planning grant from the U.S. Department of Education. It explores how conflicting demands can potentially limit the authenticity of partnership relationships, and in turn, undermine the success of these types of collaboration. The chapter examines resulting challenges that arise in relation to three key tensions: defining expertise, institutional barriers, and expectations of scientific rigor. Approaches to overcoming these challenges are offered, and lessons learned are explored.Less

Hawaiians have faced historical and cultural traumas leading to modern day inequities in the social, economic and political realms. These inequities contribute to poor health status that many Native Hawaiians experience. Two groups have attempted to improve these health outcomes, Academic researchers and the Native Hawaiian community. However, often times the approaches and goals of these two groups are at odds. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is an approach that seeks to combine community goals, action, and priorities with those of academic research. This chapter illustrates the evolution of CBPR in Hawai‘i, and its meaningful principles that have been effective for both the Native Hawaiian and research communities in their promotion of health.Less

The HOD field school is an experiential learning program designed to promote the development of university students and community partners as they work together toward integrating research and action around social justice issues through community-based participatory methods. In this chapter, we describe the theoretical foundations and history of the HOD field school and the experiences of community partners and student participants, comparing experiences across settings and expanding on themes that have been observed consistently. Throughout our discussion we address the complexities of simultaneously meeting the personal and professional needs of students while working with communities in ways that align with the ideals of empowerment, reciprocity, intercultural respect, learning, participatory research, and sustainability. Finally, based on experience and theory we offer suggestions for educators who are interested in developing similar programs.Less

This chapter describes considerations for conducting community-based participatory research (CBPR) with members of racial and ethnic minority communities. It first discusses the origin of CBPR and why it is a relevant process for many of these groups. It then describes important issues related to culture and cultural humility of CBPR researchers working with racial and ethnic minority groups. As it is not possible to discuss all groups and highlight considerations for each, the chapter highlights examples of CBPR work with the primary racial/ethnic groups in the United States and provides examples of considerations based not only on race/ethnicity but also on other relevant factors. Finally, it highlights common themes and recommendations.Less

The Handbook of Community-Based Participatory Research is an important addition to Oxford University Press’s outstanding line of books on public health and related topics because of widespread interest in community-based participatory research. It addresses important issues of concern, including health disparities; public health research involving racial and ethnic minority communities; the health of immigrants; women’s health; maternal and child health; infant mortality; cancer screening; prevention of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes; cigarette smoking, physical activity, and diet; HIV/AIDS prevention; faith-based health interventions; gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender health; mental health; substance abuse; sexual assault and violence; urban health; rural health; environmental health and environmental justice; global health; research ethics; and public health ethics. This volume complements and explicates closely related developments such as community-based evaluative research, community-engaged research, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical and Translational Science Awards. The book should be of interest to public health researchers from academic institutions and state and federal agencies, graduate students, and to members of community coalitions, community advisory boards, and non-profit organizations and foundations.Less

This chapter examines the scientific, methodological, and practical foundations of community-based intervention research that bear on ethical concerns. It begins with a description of community-based intervention research, including intervention strategies, study designs, and data collection methods. Given the major role of partnerships in community-based research, it also analyzes ethical issues along a continuum of community-engaged research and discusses the establishment, implementation and dissemination phases of community engaged research. The chapter covers considerations for working with vulnerable or disadvantaged communities, as well as considerations for ethical issues in a global context. It discusses traditional ethical principles in research and briefly reviews professional codes of ethics with implications for community-based intervention research.Less

This chapter outlines the challenges of obtaining institutional review board (IRB) coverage for community-based participatory research (CBPR) projects. Community-based participatory research focuses on problems that affect whole communities and thus is different from most biomedical research, which takes the individual as its primary subject. In CBPR projects, researchers work closely with community members and community-based organizations to develop appropriate research agendas, conduct analyses, and disseminate results and information. In general, IRBs are unfamiliar with this approach to research, reluctant to take responsibility for the actions of community partner organizations, and resistant to interaction between researchers and participants. Their hesitation causes significant delays and may prevent effective research and dissemination of results. The chapter then suggests concrete ways in which IRBs and funders can develop clear review guidelines that respect the unique qualities of CBPR.Less

Culture plays an important role in commercial as well as public health branding. A cultural grounding approach to branding appeals to the cultural/social elements of the target population and nurtures a relationship with audiences by calling up their own meanings, messages, and identities. The cultural grounding approach was used to develop the keepin' it REAL curriculum, an efficacious, multicultural, substance abuse middle school prevention program. The keepin' it REAL curriculum culturally grounded its branded health promotion messages through narratives and community-based participatory research. Cultural grounding to branding is a method for developing culturally grounded health brand and provides useful insights for health message design centered on social and cultural forces.Less

This book demonstrates how collaborative research can be made more centrally part of the effort by social work and related fields to change society for the better. Drawing on the experiences of social work researchers involved in the creation of the Philadelphia Housing Trust Fund, it offers a firsthand account that shows how research and advocacy can be combined to produce social change. The book argues that social workers who collaborate with community partners can conduct credible research while empowering their clients and community partners to obtain the social changes they seek. Participatory action research and the less inclusive but more recently popular community-based participatory research can take many forms but always involve working in partnership with community representatives to conduct research. Collaboration with advocates helps inform researchers' efforts to address concerns that confront communities.Less

This chapter suggests that this volume's insights on collaborative ethnography could have even more impact if it were generated in collaboration with policy contributors, and it is notable that the local authority has worked in partnership with the ‘Imagine’ project in Rotherham. This points to other opportunities to bring together communities, local policy makers, and academics in generating knowledge for future policy making. If community-based collaborative research is to make its full impact, then it would need to develop beyond a small number of case study areas and be strategically planned, resourced, and structured. The chapter also considers how — and what type of — academic research is prioritised, and how research careers are incentivised to include more collaborative, community-based knowledge production.Less

This chapter reviews social work research trends that pose challenges for doing research related to advocacy and offers a theoretical underpinning for change research—that is, research that brings about change. Over the past two decades, social work research has increasingly focused on conventional academic research. The most dramatic development in recent decades is the growing call to ground social welfare policies, social work practices, and interventions in the so-called evidence-based practice (EBP). Although EBP approaches and collaborative research are not mutually exclusive, they have often been viewed this way in both practice and interpretation. This chapter examines concerns with EBP in relation to advocacy research and then proposes a model for EBP that is bottom up and participatory. It then examines how the research process becomes a form of social change. It also compares participatory action research with community-based participatory research and concludes by emphasizing the professional obligation of social workers to work with and for groups that are marginalized, to fight oppression, and to strive for a society that fosters equality, access, opportunity, and inclusion.Less

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a process of using research methods and methodology with communities. This chapter examines these processes through three less-discussed topics: challenges in the ethical review process, challenges for faculty promotion and tenure, and lessons learned through critical analyses of community research within a CBPR framework. At the root of many of these challenges is the misconception that CBPR does not provide a rigorous approach to scientific research. To overcome this perception, CBPR publications need to provide sufficient information about the process and context of implementation to build an empirical base for discussing methodology and advancing the science of CBPR. Publishing reporting guidelines for CBPR would advance the implementation and evaluation of CBPR.Less

Mercury exposures in vulnerable populations frequently result from consuming contaminated fish. Fish also contain many valuable nutrients. Culturally appropriate risk communication must account for the nutritional benefits and contaminant risks of fish, especially in vulnerable populations with long historical dependence upon fisheries. Traditional ecological knowledge and selenium in foods may provide some protection against methylmercury in fish. The economic, social, and family values of fishing activities influence the acceptance of fish consumption advisories and are incorporated using community-based participatory research. Culturally relevant advisories encourage wise choices for dietary fish and are illustrated with examples from Native American and Hmong communities. Anthropogenic emissions are nearly as great as the historical peaks from volcanic activity, and dietary fish will continue to be threatened.Less

Community residents, and the community-based nonprofit and grassroots organizations who serve them, are important actors in urban public health. This chapter discusses challenges in effectively engaging community actors in urban health research and practice, as well as strategies for effective partnerships to overcome these challenges. Key challenges include addressing the history of mistrust between urban populations and research, making research relevant to community needs, and engaging communities in all phases of research. Community engagement and partnerships are fundamental to cross-sector collaborations in urban public health research and interventions.Less

Although there is growing consensus that community-based prevention efforts have great potential to reduce youth behavioral health problems, few such systems have been well evaluated and demonstrated to produce such outcomes. This chapter begins by reviewing the impact of one such system, Communities That Care. Next, the components of CTC that are responsible for producing desired changes in community norms and processes, and for its effectiveness and cost effectiveness in reducing youth behavioral health problems. The challenges that may be faced by communities in the United States and internationally when implementing CTC and similar community-based interventions are reviewed and solutions to these challenges are provided. The chapter concludes by describing recent developments in the implementation and evaluation of CTC, including the development of an on-line training system and international replications of CTC.Less
