“…Some authors advocate that essential components of community involvement in research are shared decision making, developing appropriate research priorities, cultural competence, and building and maintaining trust between the community and researchers. 7,12,13,[15][16][17][18] To implement these components in a sustainable fashion, the infrastructure barriers that come from the piecemeal or study-specific funding of most PBRNs need to be overcome.…”

Purpose: Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are increasingly encouraged to use community engagement approaches. The extent to which PBRNs engage clinic and community partners in strategies to recruit and retain participants from their local communities (specifically racial/ethnic communities) is the focus of this study.Methods: The design was a cross-sectional survey of PBRN directors in the United States. Survey respondents indicated whether their research network planned for, implemented, and has capacity for activities that engage clinic and community partners in 7 recommended strategies organized into study phases, called the cycle of trust. The objectives of the national survey were to (1) describe the extent to which PBRNs across the United States routinely implement the strategies recommended for recruiting diverse patient groups and (2) identify factors associated with implementing the recommended strategies.Results: The survey response rate was 63%. Activities that build trust often are used more with clinic partners than with community partners. PBRNs that adopt engagement strategies when working with clinic and community partners have less difficulty in recruiting diverse populations. Multivariate analysis showed that the targeting racial/ethnic communities for study recruitment, Clinical and Translational Science Award affiliation, and planning to use community engagement strategies were independent correlates of PBRN implementation of the recommended strategies. In recent years, policymakers and researchers have expressed concern that the medical research system produces new knowledge that may not be incorporated effectively into clinical practice.1,2 Acquisition of much of the evidence base of health careThis article was externally peer reviewed.

“…10 Rapp and Pascoe 11 examined the concept of partnership, soliciting views from both patients and practices. The complex connotations behind a seemingly straightforward concept of partnership are striking, and this work represents an important step toward helping practices identify how their own patient populations view partner- ated the implementation of a blood pressure kiosk in one practice, gaining important knowledge on workflow, acceptance, and outcomes from that single practice.…”

Practice-based research supported by practice-based research network (PBRN) infrastructure has historically provided an important method for challenging guidelines and evidence arising from secondary and tertiary care settings. This sample of current practice-based research in this issue of the JABFM provides an opportunity to ask whether practice-based research continues to address questions relevant to primary care practices and clinicians and whether a PBRN infrastructure is instrumental to maintaining the relevance and feasibility of practice-based research. Based on this issue's articles, the current state of practice-based research seems to be good, at face value addressing relevant issues for primary care practices. Less clear is the degree to which PBRN infrastructures and relationships informed the questions asked and facilitated the implementation of the studies presented. Practice-based research-related articles that routinely report about how study questions arose-from practices and their clinicians, staff and communities, or elsewhere-could help directly answer questions of relevance. In addition, reporting how practices are recruited to practice-based research studies could inform the degree to which ongoing relationships central to PBRNs facilitate the recruitment and conduct of practice-based research.
