“…Working collaboratively with members of the community not only during the recruitment period, but throughout the entire research process, is an approach used in Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), which has generally been shown to raise participation rates and increase the value of studies for both researchers and the community (Viswanathan et al, 2004). CBPR, an overarching term for a variety of approaches such as action research, participatory action research, mutual inquiry and feminist participatory research (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008), involves working with communities, instead of in them, and attempts to strengthen the problem-solving capacity of communities through collective engagement in the research process (Viswanathan et al, 2004). This approach acts not as a community outreach strategy but as a systematic effort to incorporate community participation and decision-making into the research process (Wallerstein & Duran, 2006).…”

In this article, we discuss the challenges faced in recruiting “hard-to-reach” groups for interview studies, specifically those who do not access preventative healthcare services. We do this by reflecting on the varying success of different recruitment methods we have used in two recent studies; one investigating ethnic disparities in human papillomavirus vaccination uptake and another exploring difference in cervical screening non-participation. Engaging new community groups to help with recruitment proved particularly difficult, as did recruiting online. Our most successful recruitment methods included recruiting through community groups with whom we had previously established relationships, recruiting through schools and re-contacting participants who previously completed a related survey. We conclude that successful recruitment is dependent on study awareness and engagement. We urge others to be transparent in reporting recruitment methods in order to benefit the qualitative research community and suggest that details are published as supplementary material alongside qualitative articles in future.

“…A commonly used approach for minority health promotion is community-based participatory research (CBPR) (Yancey, et al, 2004), a process characterized by a long-term cooperative engagement by researchers and community members as equal contributors to the process (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2002;Viswanathan, et al, 2004) The main principles and characteristics of CBPR include: (1) recognizing the community as a unit of identity, (2) emphasizing local relevance of public health problems and ecological perspectives that recognize and attend to the multiple determinants of health and disease, (3) facilitating collaborative partnerships and promoting co-learning and capacity building among all partners, (4) integrating and achieving a balance between research and action for the mutual benefit of all partners, (5) building on strengths and resources within the community, and (6) disseminating findings and knowledge gained to all partners and involving all partners in the dissemination process (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2002). This approach emphasizes community participation as an important outcome in the overall process (Viswanathan, et al, 2004).…”

“…This approach emphasizes community participation as an important outcome in the overall process (Viswanathan, et al, 2004). A CBPR approach often results in more sustainable, culturally sensitive community programs and greater support from community members resulting in the empowerment of the community for health-related issues.…”

Healthy People 2020 states that ethnic health disparities are a priority for the US. Although considerable national statistics document ethnic-related health disparities, information specific to rural areas is scarce and does not provide direction for implementing chronic disease prevention programming. Therefore, the purpose of our project was to undertake the Hispanic Health Needs Assessment (HHNA), a tool designed by the National Alliance for Hispanic Health (NAHH), in culturally-diverse rural Southwest Kansas. Our focus areas included: access to healthcare, heart disease, diabetes, overweight, nutrition, and physical activity. Methods: The assessment followed six steps: (1) developing the assessment team, (2) data gathering using community member surveys, existing statistics, and community leader interviews, (3) assembling the findings, (4) formulating recommendations for action at individual, institutional, community and policy levels, (5) sharing findings and program planning (6) sharing findings with NAHH. We identified several challenges collecting health related data in rural communities. But overall, the HHNA was a comprehensive and useful tool for guiding a community level health assessment.Conclusion: This process has provided our community partners with locally relevant statistics regarding the current status of health, health behaviors, and perceived community needs to inform resource allocation, program planning and applications for new funding initiatives.

“…However, we argue that engaging citizens and communities in data collection processes does not necessarily hinder data quality when protocols, methodologies and analyses are undertaken in a robust manner. When undertaken with explicit attention to quality assurance, such processes can, in fact, enhance both quality of data and research by establishing mutual trust, ownership and culturally appropriate measurement instruments (Esmail et al 2015;Viswanathan et al 2004). …”

SDGs, health and the G20: a vision for public policy

Ensuring 'health for all' remains a persistent and entrenched global challenge. G20 governments are in a position to elevate the priority accorded to health, and acknowledge the centrality of health to attaining the SDGs. The authors call on G20 leaders to build nations that are more inclusive and less divided, by: adopting a Health-in-All-Policies approach, prioritizing the most vulnerable, engaging citizens in policy processes, and filling health data gaps.(Published as Global Solutions Paper) JEL I1 I18
