CBPR principles and principles used in included articles.

CBPR Principle Intent to use CBPR Recognizes community as a unit of identity Builds on strengths and resources within the community Facilitates collaborative partnerships in all phases of the research Integrates knowledge and action for mutual benefit of all partners Promotes a co-learning and empowering process that attends to social inequities Involves a cyclical and iterative process Addresses health from both positive and ecological perspectives Disseminates findings and knowledge gained to all partners
Israel et al. Example “Membership in a family, friendship network,
or geographic neighborhood, are all socially constructed dimensions of
identity, created and recreated through social interactions.”
“These may include skills and assets of individuals, networks of relationships characterized by trust, cooperation and mutual
commitment, and mediating structures within the community such as
churches and other organizations where community members come together—resources that have recently been referred to as social capital.”
“These partnerships focus on issues and concerns identified by community members, and create processes that enable all
parties to participate and share influence in the research.”
“Community-based research may not always incorporate a direct-action component,
but there is a commitment to the integration of research results with
community change efforts with the intention that all involved partners
will benefit.”
“Researchers
learn from the knowledge and ‘local theories' of community members, and community
members acquire further skills in how to conduct
research.”
“A cyclical, iterative process that includes partnership development and
maintenance, community assessment, problem definition, development of research
methodology, data collection and analysis, interpretation of data, determination
of action and policy implications, dissemination of results, action taking
(as appropriate), specification of learnings, and establishment of mechanisms
for sustainability.”
“Addresses the concept of health from a positive model that emphasizes physical, mental, and social well-being. It also
emphasizes an ecological model of health that encompasses biomedical, social, economic, cultural, historical,
and political factors as determinants of health and disease.”
“Seeks to disseminate findings and knowledge gained to all partners
involved, in language that is understandable and respectful, and ‘where
ownership of knowledge is acknowledged.”'
