This thoroughly revised and updated second edition of Methods
for Community-Based Participatory Research for Health provides
a step-by-step approach to the application of participatory
approaches to quantitative and qualitative data collection and data
analysis. With contributions from a distinguished panel of experts,
this important volume shows how researchers, practitioners, and
community partners can work together to establish and maintain
equitable partnerships using a Community-Based Participatory
Research (CBPR) approach to increase knowledge and improve the
health and well-being of the communities involved.
Written for students, practitioners, researchers, and community
members, the book provides a comprehensive presentation of
innovative partnership structures and processes, and covers the
broad spectrum of methods needed to conduct CBPR in the widest
range of research areas–including social determinants of
health, health inequities, health promotion, community
interventions, disease management, health services, and
environmental health. The contributors examine effective methods
used within the context of a CBPR approach including survey
questionnaire, in-depth interview, focus group interview,
ethnography, exposure assessment, and geographic information system
mapping. In addition, each chapter describes a case study of the
application of the method using a CBPR approach. The book also
contains examples of concrete tools and measurement instruments
that may be adapted by others involved in CBPR efforts.
