This introductory-level session will provide an overview of community-based participatory research (CBPR), an increasingly used approach of researchers collaborating with communities to ethically and effectively design research to address health disparities. Nina Wallerstein, Dr.P.H. and Lorenda Belone, Ph.D. from the RWJF Center for Health Policy and the Center for Participatory Research, Department of Family and Community Medicine, at the University of New Mexico, along with one of their Tribal Partners, will present CBPR definitions and principles, the rationale for using this approach, as well as issues, challenges, and strategies for effective CBPR. Examples will be presented of the process of conducting CBPR, including research design and measurement, and its potential for achieving mutually beneficial outcomes, within communities and within University practices.
