In the process of initiating a new community-based research project, the authors wanted to understand the experiences of community members and researchers in community-based research projects and to develop guidelines to improve future projects. They conducted qualitative, key informant interviews with 41 people involved at all levels of community-based research projects in Seattle. Respondents were identified using a snowball sampling technique. More problems than successes were discussed by informants, including dissatisfaction with the focus of research, which some said is marked by a lack of cultural appropriateness and relevance. Power imbalances, lack of trust, and communication difficulties impeded collaboration. According to respondents, many problems could be avoided if the community were involved from the beginning in setting research priorities and developing and implementing interventions. Meaningful collaboration between communities and researchers is characterized by early involvement of communities, power sharing, mutual respect, community benefit, and cultural sensitivity.
在启动一个新的基于社区的研究项目过程中，作者希望了解社区成员和研究人员在基于社区的研究项目中的经历，并制定指导方针以改进未来的项目。他们对西雅图参与基于社区的研究项目各个层面的41人进行了定性的关键信息人访谈。受访者通过滚雪球抽样技术确定。信息提供者讨论的问题多于成功之处，包括对研究重点的不满，一些人表示研究重点缺乏文化适宜性和相关性。权力失衡、缺乏信任和沟通困难阻碍了合作。据受访者称，如果社区从一开始就参与确定研究重点以及制定和实施干预措施，许多问题是可以避免的。社区与研究人员之间有意义的合作的特点是社区的早期参与、权力共享、相互尊重、社区受益和文化敏感性。
