Community-Based Participatory Research Principles

This week, we continue our deep dive into community-based participatory research (CBPR). We hope that these readings are encouraging you to seek out CBPR opportunities in your community. These partnerships can lead to more effective interventions and solutions and are a more equitable and just approach to community improvement and justice work. Learn about CBPR principles with this website from The Detroit Community-Academic Urban Research Center University of Michigan School of Public Health (U-M SPH).

Excerpt: “Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a partnership approach to research that equitably involves, for example, community members, organizational representatives, and researchers in all aspects of the research process and in which all partners contribute expertise and share decision making and ownership.* The core principles of CBPR, as developed and adopted by the URC Board, along with a more detailed explanation for each principle, are listed below.”
