Best practices for community-engaged participatory research with Pacific Islander communities in the USA and USAPI: protocol for a scoping review

Abstract

IntroductionCommunity-based participatory research is a partnership approach to research that seeks to equally involve community members, organisational representatives and academic partners throughout the research process in a coequal and mutually beneficial partnership. To date, no published article has synthesised the best practices for community-based participatory research practices with Pacific Islanders.Methods and analysisThe reviewers will examine studies’ titles, abstracts and full text, comparing eligibility to address discrepancies. For each eligible study, data extraction will be executed by two reviewers and one confirmation coder, comparing extracted data to address any discrepancies. Eligible data will be synthesised and reported in a narrative review assessing coverage and gaps in existing literature related to community-based participatory research with Pacific Islanders.Discussion and disseminationThe purpose of this review is to identify best practices used when conducting community-based participatory research with Pacific Islanders; it will also extrapolate where the gaps are in the existing literature. This will be the first scoping review on community-based participatory research with Pacific Islanders. To facilitate dissemination, the results of this scoping review will be submitted for publication to a peer-reviewed journal, presented at conferences and shared with community-based participatory research stakeholders.

Development of a Culturally Specific Leadership Curriculum through Community-Based Participatory Research and Popular Education

“…CBPR methods include power sharing between academic researchers and community members, enabling academic partners to establish credibility and trust within marginalized communities (Israel et al, 2010). Generally, CBPR methods have been shown to be successful in engaging minority, immigrant, migrant, and refugee populations in research to reduce health disparities (McElfish et al, 2018). In this article, we described the Micronesian Islander (MI) community context; the Micronesian Islander Community organization and Washington State University College of Nursing partnership; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of a nine-workshop series on a culturally specific leadership training curriculum through the use of CBPR and Popular Education tenets for the MI community.…”

Key Elements and Effects of Cardiovascular Disease Management Programs based on Community-Based Participatory Research: Protocol for a Scoping Review

“…The CBPR is a community-based participatory research approach that involves a community's members, leaders, and academic researchers as equal participants [7]. In this manner, CBPR centers on the equality between participants and the fostering of a cooperative partnership for health promotion [8].…”

“…Many previous reviews of CBPR in the health and medical sector are focused on speci c ethnic groups such as Hispanics, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and immigrants [14,15], or residents in speci c regions such as Sub-Saharan Africans and Asia-Paci c Islanders [7,16]. There are not enough reviews that focus on providing a comprehensive compilation of the effects of CBPR-based health programs.…”

Pesquisa participante baseada na comunidade: fundamentos, requisitos e desafios ao pesquisador

“…Por definição, é considerada uma abordagem de pesquisa cuja finalidade é investigar e, simultaneamente, promover mudança em prol da comunidade, mediante a colaboração ativa das pessoas, em especial, de grupos minoritários e afetados pelo mesmo problema. [10][11] Em Por permitir a integração de variados métodos para o alcance dos objetivos preestabelecidos na condução da investigação, a depender dos interesses da comunidade, a PPBC é reconhecida como uma abordagem ampla de pesquisa e não simplesmente como um método hermético em si. [3][4][5]11 Assim, tem sido largamente utilizada em investigações no campo da saúde direcionadas para o desenvolvimento de intervenções de promoção da saúde, do meio ambiente e no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas.…”

“…[3][4][5]11 Assim, tem sido largamente utilizada em investigações no campo da saúde direcionadas para o desenvolvimento de intervenções de promoção da saúde, do meio ambiente e no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas. 8,10,[13][14][15] Pode também ser aplicada em diferentes cenários, inclusive por pesquisadores de mais de uma área do conhecimento. [3][4]6,[8][9]12 Na prática, essa abordagem metodológica tem sido instrumental no processo de identificar e minimizar os determinantes sociais de saúde.…”
