There have been increasing calls for community-academic partnerships to enhance the capacity of partners engage in policy advocacy aimed at eliminating health disparities. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a partnership approach that can facilitate building and change through equitable engagement diverse partners. Toward this end, Detroit Community-Academic Urban Research Center, long-standing CBPR partnership, has conducted training project. We describe its relevance...
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an equitable partnership approach that links academic researchers, community organizations, and public health practitioners to work together understand address inequities. Although numerous educational materials on CBPR exist, few training programs develop the skills knowledge needed establish effective, partnerships. Furthermore, there are professional development opportunities for practitioners, members obtain these competencies in...
Pregnant women are uniquely susceptible to adverse effects of air pollution exposure due vulnerabilities and health consequences during pregnancy (e.g., hypertensive disorders [HDP]) compared the general population. Because Clean Air Act (CAA) creates a duty protect at‐risk groups, regulatory assessment populations has both policy scientific foundations. Previously, pregnant have not been specially protected in establishing margin safety for ozone particulate matter (PM) standards. Due...
Background: Numerous conceptual frameworks have been developed to understand how community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships function, and multiple measurement approaches designed evaluate them. However, most measures are not validated, focused on new partnerships. To define assess the meaning of success in long-standing CBPR partnerships, we conducting a study, Measurement Approaches Partnership Success (MAPS). In this article describe theoretical underpinnings methodological used.
The elimination of persistent health inequities requires the engagement multiple perspectives, resources, and skills. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is one approach to developing action strategies that promote equity by addressing contextual as well individual-level factors, can contribute more fundamental factors linked inequity. Yet many questions remain about how implement processes engage local insights expertise, are informed existing public knowledge base, build support...
As part of the Measurement Approaches to Partnership Success (MAPS) study, we investigated relationship between benefits and costs participation in long-standing community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships using social exchange theory as a theoretical framework. Three major findings were identified: (1) concept operating ratio, where individual must outweigh for participation, applies early stages CBPR partnership formation; (2) develop, include each other's needs group whole;...
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is widely recognized as an effective approach to understand and address health inequities. Opportunities for public practitioners researchers engage jointly with community partners in intensive colearning processes can build capacity CBPR. Using active learning approaches that diverse enhance partnership development, competence, equity. Examination of such pedagogical strengthen understanding their contributions the effectiveness CBPR...
This article presents results of the outcome evaluation Neighborhoods Working in Partnership (NWP), a community-based participatory research project Detroit Community–Academic Urban Research Center, designed to enhance policy advocacy skills through training and support, thereby increasing community capacity, engagement, empowerment residents change policies. Focus groups conversational interviews were conducted with NWP participants. Results indicate that workshop empowered participants...
Extreme summertime heat is a significant public health threat that disproportionately impacts vulnerable urban populations. Research on of climate change (including increasing intensity, duration, and frequency hot weather) sometimes designed implemented without the involvement communities being studied, i.e., "community-placed" not "community-based." We describe how Heatwaves, Housing, Health: Increasing Climate Resiliency in Detroit (HHH) partnership engaged relevant by integrating...
Background: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) typically defines communities by geography, ethnicity, shared health needs, or some combination.
As part of a 5-year study to develop and validate an instrument for measuring success in long-standing community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships, we utilized the Delphi method with panel 16 community academic CBPR experts assess face content validity instrument's broad concepts measurement items. In addition incorporating quantitative qualitative feedback from two online surveys, included 2-day face-to-face meeting Expert Panel invite open discussion diversity opinion line...
The effectiveness of community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships to address health inequities is well documented. CBPR integrates knowledge and perspectives diverse communities throughout the process, following principles that emphasize trust, power sharing, co-learning, mutual benefits. However, institutions funders seldom provide time resources needed for critical stage equitable partnership formation development.
Policy and systems change is essential to attaining public health equity, involving communities disproportionately experiencing inequities critical.Successful policy mobilization requires specific community capacities, many of which exist in marginalized but can be strengthened amplified.Yet attention strengthening capacity historically excluded from the process has been limited.This study applies a framework analyze Neighborhoods Working Partnership (NWP), multiyear, community-based...
e13743 Background: Black/African Americans (B/AA) have a disproportionate cancer burden and the highest mortality rates of any racial/ethnic group for most cancers. Racial/ethnic variation in reflects health inequities, differences risk factors, heredity genomic diversity, lack access to participation prevention, screening, treatment, clinical trials. Twelve percent United States population are B/AA; however, only about 5% B/AA participate As result, data regarding tumors from not equally...
Abstract Background Black/African Americans experience a disproportionate cancer burden and mortality rates. Racial/ethnic variation in reflects systemic healthcare inequities, risk factors, heredity genomic diversity. Multiple systemic, socio-cultural, economic, individual factors also contribute to disproportionately low American participation clinical trials. Methods The Participatory Action for Access Clinical Trials project utilized community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach...
Partnerships that effectively engage in certain key structural and process functions are more likely to meet their research goals contribute longer-term health equity outcomes. Ongoing evaluation of partnerships’ level achievement these functions, along with fidelity the guiding principles community-based participatory (CBPR), is therefore essential understand how they can achieve desired partnership This article describes validated Measurement Approaches Partnership Success (MAPS)...
Conceptualizing and testing factors that contribute to the success of community–academic partnerships are critical understanding their contributions health well-being communities. Most measures date focus on development new partnerships, only a few have been adequately tested validated. Methods. The Measurement Approaches Partnership Success (MAPS) study followed community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach multiphase process included construction pilot questionnaire, national...
