“…The traditional model has been research ‘on’ communities and subjects rather than ‘with’ them, and the clarification of intentions and establishment of trust is crucial to overcome possible negative preconceptions [19,59,60]. Often, an academic research team conceives the studies and the community partners feel that they must constantly advocate for the abidance of community-based principles (which may be overlooked in the interests of time or funding guidelines).…”

“…The interviewers or focus group leaders are often members of the community themselves, which may create a more comfortable environment in which the participants can feel at ease to share their experiences and opinions. However, perhaps the leader or interviewer has a certain standing within the community or relationship with the academic research team that makes participants hesitant to disclose information [60,66]. In addition, many participants in CBPR studies related to primary care are receiving services for free or at a reduced cost.…”

“…While CBPR has the ability to empower communities to make themselves healthier, it is not always feasible owing to the large amount of time required to develop and cultivate trusting partnerships [19,59,60]. This time constraint may limit progress for CBPR to demonstrate improved healthcare outcomes [68–71].…”

“…Another challenge of CBPR is overcoming the damage done by previous researchers who may not have kept their promises after collecting data, leaving the community wary of further academic studies. Establishing trust in the wake of such challenges is essential if the subsequent CBPR study is to realize its full potential [60,73]. …”

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has emerged to bridge the gap between research and primary-care practice through community engagement and social action to increase health equity. It is widely acknowledged that access to high-quality primary care services is important to the overall health of a community. Here, CBPR studies in a primary care setting are reviewed to assess the use of CBPR associated with common health problems seen in primary care such as access to care and disparities in chronic disease management across vulnerable populations. CBPR involves building relationships with local communities, determining areas of need and establishing priorities for health concerns. Studies showing improved access to care for a Hispanic population, reduced asthma symptoms and weight loss are highlighted.

Team process in community‐based participatory research on maternity care in the Dominican Republic

et al. 2010

A cross-cultural team consisting of US trained academic midwife researchers, Dominican nurses, and Dominican community leaders have partnered in this international nursing and midwifery community-based participatory research (CBPR) project in the Dominican Republic to understand the community experience with publicly funded maternity services. The purpose of the study was to understand community perceptions of maternity services. This article highlights the activities that the research team carried out during each phase of the research process, and how they established team identity, team trust, and team efficacy. This research has created a platform for new avenues for health providers and community to partner to improve maternal-newborn care. Community-based participatory research is one way forward to address the past and present inequities constitutive of global health disparities.
