“…Trusting and respecting each other led to openness and transparency such that partners were able to “share themselves” (James et al, 2011, p. 400), express true feelings (Hicks et al, 2012), and improve the work of the partnership (Arora et al, 2015; Morales et al, 2016). Partner relations were also enhanced when community and academic partners recognized each other’s pressures, priorities, and worldviews (Chambers et al, 2015; Corbie-Smith et al, 2015; James et al, 2011; Malone et al, 2013; Pivik & Goelman, 2011). One community author noted, “By having a better understanding of how academia works, [community partners] have been able to support researchers.…”

“…A second indicator was the existence of structures to support partnership processes, such as adequate staff, budget, and expertise to nurture, coordinate, and facilitate partnership processes and sustainability (Goold et al, 2016; Johnson et al, 2009). Finally, mandatory evaluations, whether conducted annually or at other regularly determined intervals, provided the means to assess participatory processes, continuously strengthen the partnership, and give voice and power to individual partners (Arroyo-Johnson et al, 2015; Baquet et al, 2013; Corbie-Smith et al, 2015). “Assessing the partnership as the relationship grows,” noted Morales et al (2016) “can identify what works well and where improvements can be made .…”

“…The partnership’s ability to achieve long-term success was in part indicated by the increased capacity for research at individual, partnership, and community levels (Corbie-Smith et al, 2015). Capacity-building activities and processes tailored to academic and community partners’ specific experiences and needs that involved mutual learning and that addressed inequities between partners were viewed as particularly powerful (Baquet et al, 2013; Chino, 2012; Goold et al, 2016; Mason et al, 2013), especially when they resulted in transferable skills that helped improve understanding of the critical role data and research play in community education, policy advocacy, and other interventions (Cook et al, 2012; Johnson-Shelton et al, 2015).…”

Success in Long-Standing Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Partnerships: A Scoping Literature Review

et al. 2019

Background. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is increasingly used by community and academic partners to examine health inequities and promote health equity in communities. Despite increasing numbers of CBPR partnerships, there is a lack of consensus in the field regarding what defines partnership success and how to measure factors contributing to success in long-standing CBPR partnerships. Aims. To identify indicators and measures of success in long-standing CBPR partnerships as part of a larger study whose aim is to develop and validate an instrument measuring success across CBPR partnerships. Methods. The Joanna Briggs Institute framework and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guided searches of three databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus) for articles published between 2007 and 2017 and evaluating success in CBPR partnerships existing longer than 4 years. Results. Twenty-six articles met search criteria. We identified 3 key domains and 7 subdomains with 28 underlying indicators of success. Six partnerships developed or used instruments to measure their success; only one included reliability or validity data. Discussion. CBPR partnerships reported numerous intersecting partner, partnership, and outcome indicators important for success. These results, along with data from key informant interviews with community and academic partners and advisement from a national panel of CBPR experts, will inform development of items for an instrument measuring CBPR partnership success. Conclusion. The development of a validated instrument measuring indicators of success will allow long-standing CBPR partnerships to evaluate their work toward achieving health equity and provide a tool for newly forming CBPR partnerships aiming to achieve long-term success.

“…Suggestions for developing tailored and targeted interventions can be found in the extensive literature on community based participatory research (Corbie-Smith et al 2015; Salsberg et al 2015). However, ethical behavior is not achieved through regulation alone, it requires an ethical character of researchers and institutions.…”

Background To promote justice in research practice and rectify health disparities, greater diversity in research participation is needed. Lack of trust in medical research is one of the most significant obstacles to research participation. Multiple variables have been identified as factors associated with research participant trust/mistrust. A conceptual model that provides meaningful insight into the interplay of factors impacting trust may promote more ethical research practice and provide an enhanced, actionable understanding of participant mistrust. Methods A structured survey was developed to capture attitudes towards research conducted in emergency situations; this paper focuses on items designed to assess respondents’ level of trust or mistrust in medical research in general. Community-based interviews were conducted in English or Spanish with 355 New York City residents (white 42%, African American 29%, Latino 22%). Results Generally favorable attitudes towards research were expressed by a majority (85.3%), but many respondents expressed mistrust. Factor analysis yielded four specific domains of trust/mistrust, each of which was associated with different demographic variables: General Trustworthiness (older age, not disabled); Perceptions of Discrimination (African American, Latino, Spanish language preference); Perceptions of Deception (prior research experience, African American); and Perceptions of Exploitation (less education). Conclusions The four domains identified in the analysis provide a framework for understanding specific areas of research trust/mistrust amongst disparate study populations. This model offers a conceptual basis for the design of tailored interventions that target specific groups to promote trust of individual researchers and research institutions as well as to facilitate broader research participation.

Progress in Community Health Partnerships

The organizers founded Progress in Community Health Partnerships with a commitment to improving our understanding of community-based participatory research (CBPR) and its use in community–academic/institutional health partnerships. Following Rogers’s Diffusion of Innovations, they reasoned that expanded adoption would occur through academic and community partner recognition of CBPR’s relative advantage over previous approaches; its compatibility with the values, past experience and needs of potential adopters; its ease of understanding and use; its capacity for experimentation and refinement; and its production of observable results. We now assess the journal’s progress toward realizing the vision, as well as issues and problems the organizers identified. We map the journal’s content over its first decade onto the initial vision by examining the record of submissions and publications across the eight types of articles and the journal’s record of rejections and publications. In remembering that Rogers’s study of innovations requires both technical and social change, we discuss the difference between understanding how to do something and actually putting an innovation into action that becomes standard practice at both individual and systemic levels. We observe that the large number of Original Research and Works-in-Progress/Lessons Learned manuscripts, submitted and published, reflect traditional expectations for faculty research productivity. We suggest that sustainability, which rated of lower importance within the initial vision, has gained in importance among community and academic partners; however, it will gain added attention only with changed university expectations of researchers. We further suggest that the study of partnerships involved in researching and improving public health should be expanded beyond the current focus on CBPR.

Building Capacity in Community-Based Participatory Research Partnerships Through a Focus on Process and Multiculturalism

Abstract: The process and capacity building model provides a common language, approach, and toolset to understand differences and the dynamics of inequity. These tools can be used by other partnerships in the conduct of research to achieve health equity.
