Community-Based Participatory Research Community-Based Participatory Research
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a systematic process
emphasizing the collaboration of public health leaders and community leaders for
research, education, and effecting social change (Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality, 2004). The purpose of using this approach is to reduce
disparity among populations, properly identify critical public health issues, and
develop cooperation with community partners. CBPR recognizes and
incorporates the various social, political, and economic issues among
communities as well as the importance of cultural diversity. This approach also
focuses on research methods, developing projects, collecting data, interpreting
research results, and creating interventions and it is often valuable for public
health leaders in the development and implementation of a public health
campaign.
For this Discussion, review the media from last week titled, “Communication for
Social Change”. Consider the aspects of communication development among
communities. Also, review the learning resources and consider the use of CBPR
in public health and how you might utilize CBPR in the development of your
campaign.

With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3, post a brief explanation of the significance of using community-based
participatory research (CBPR) in public health practice and one way you might
use CBPR in the development of your public health campaign. Then describe
one ethical issue and one legal issue you might need to consider prior to the
implementation of your public health campaign. Briefly describe how you could
potentially address either the ethical or the legal issue you identified. Answer Preview
..As a widely accepted collaborative approach that ensures the participation of all identified groups and stakeholders in the research project, community-based participatory research (CBPR) has helped these group of people to identify measures to understand and protect public health. Although its role is not formally expressed, experts are of the consensus that communication development, especially among communities, is one the drivers of the success recorded by CBPR in the past three decades (Minkler, Garcia, Rubin & Wallerstein, 2012). One of the utilization methods that can be employed in the implementation phase of a CBPR for public health purposes is in the development of modalities for patient-centered research and whose outcome will serve as critical input policy formulation of healthcare service delivery.
