“…High variability was found during critical appraisal of case studies, with scores ranging from 1 to 10 (Akintobi et al., ; Caldwell et al., ; Chaskin, Goerge, Skyles, & Guiltinan, ; Darling et al., ; LoConte, Weeth‐Feinstein, Conlon, & Scott, ; McFarlane, Kahili, & Johnson, ; Napoles et al., ; Panapasa et al., ; Singer et al., ). Five studies met all the criteria (Chaskin et al., ; Darling et al., ; Gainforth, Latimer‐Cheung, Moore, Athanasopoulos, & Martin Ginis, ; Jewett‐Tennant et al., ; Woodruff et al., ).…”

“…The dynamics of a partnership describe the workings of a relationship between a CBO and a stakeholder. Most studies agree that partnership dynamics are facilitated when CBOs are involved throughout the duration of the research project as opposed to one point (Geist, ; Kelaher et al., ; Napoles et al., ; Singer et al., ). A CBO can contribute to a partnership through several ways that include: planning, recruitment, developing instruments, data collection, data analysis and interpretation, dissemination of findings, intervention development and providing recommendations (Bloom et al., ; Boutain & McNees, ; Chaskin et al., ; Honeycutt et al., ; Houston et al., ).…”

“…Another important aspect of partnership dynamics is trust between CBOs and stakeholders (Akintobi et al., ; Bloom et al., ; Caldwell et al., ; Laborde et al., ; Taras et al., ; Tisnado et al., ). Trust in partnerships can be built through effective, regular and bidirectional communication through means like: regular meetings, conference calls, webinars and online dialogue (Akintobi et al., ; Bloom et al., ; Caldwell et al., ; Collignon et al., ; Darling et al., ; Glik et al., ; Honeycutt et al., ; Houston et al., ; Johnson et al., ; Napoles et al., ; Singer et al., ; Tisnado et al., ). Trust can also be developed through transparency of research processes and procedures, and accountability between members of the partnership (Akintobi et al., ; Caldwell et al., ; Laborde et al., ; Singer et al., ).…”

“…The problem with this is that not capturing CBOE early on in the research process can negatively influence a project or partnership (Clinical and Translational Science Awards Consortium, 2011). Additionally, there is a paucity in the understanding of CBOE among research partnerships (Bloom et al, 2009;Drake & Whitley, 2014), which may be due to the variation in operational definitions of CBOE (Chandra et al, 2013;Honeycutt et al, 2015;Kakietek et al, 2013;Singer et al, 2015). Not understanding the different nuances of community engagement (e.g.…”

“…In CBOE, CBOs use their knowledge of the target community to positively influence a research project through active involvement in decision-making, planning and implementation (Chandra et al, 2013;Singer, Bennett-Levy, & Rotumah, 2015). Literature suggests that CBOE may be a major predictor of outcomes in public health (Clinical and Translational Science Awards Consortium, 2011;Patel et al, 2011).…”

Community-based organisations (CBOs) are important for eliminating health disparities globally and translating research findings to inform interventions. Engagement is an integral part of partnerships between CBOs and community health researchers and impacts the quality and quantity of any desired outcome. Despite the acknowledged benefits of community-based organisation engagement (CBOE), there are variations in its operationalisation and paucity in the understanding of its use in community-scientific partnerships. To further understand CBOE, the aim of this study was to synthesise published literature relevant to the definitions and applications of CBOE and identify its key components. A systematic search was conducted in March 2017, and updated in June 2017. Keywords were varied to account for international differences in spelling and word usage. Five major databases, MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Google Scholar, were used to identify potential research studies. A total of 32 studies were included in this review. Following the analysis of the literature, four salient themes emerged as components of CBOE: (1) Need (a consensus between all the parties in a partnership on the importance of a specified project and its proposed benefits to a target community); (2) Partnership Dynamics (the workings of a relationship between a CBO and a scientific/academic stakeholder); (3) Resources (include but are not limited to: personnel, money, work space, expertise and equipment); and (4) Outcomes (products of the partnership). This review provides a foundation for future research in applying CBOE to translational research and interventions. This analysis will assist community health researchers in planning partnerships with CBOs, and make necessary adjustments to improve study outcomes. Appropriate application of the components of CBOE in partnerships will assist researchers in addressing health disparities.

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in an effective technique used widely in Western countries. However, there is limited evidence as to the utility, perception and understanding of CBT in developing countries. This study describes and investigates the experience of CBT training and practice in a group of practitioners in Tanzania. A qualitative approach to the investigation was used, and seven participants from Tanzania’s only psychiatric hospital who had completed CBT training were interviewed. The resulting verbatim transcripts were analysed via interpretative phenomenological analysis. Five superordinate themes emerged from the analysis: ‘the medical model’, ‘novelty’, ‘practicalities’, ‘process’ and ‘therapist effects’. The two themes ‘therapist effects’ and ‘process’ are discussed in detail as these may be particularly relevant to the clinical application of the therapy in a new culture and context. The implications for future development of CBT in Tanzania are considered. In developing CBT for dissemination in Tanzania, specific cultural and clinical issues highlighted by indigenous clinicians need consideration.Key learning aims(1)To identify what range of factors may influence clinicians’ perception of and learning about CBT when CBT training is delivered in a mental health setting in Tanzania, or to those with East African origins.(2)To consider the use of qualitative research approaches to inform the early stages of adapting CBT for use in new settings and applications.(3)To be able to apply knowledge about cultural differences to standard CBT in order to promote culturally sensitive practice.
