This case history describes the history of the Center for Urban Epidemiological Studies (CUES), an urban research center based in New York City. Between 1996 and 1999, CUES was transformed from an institution that worked with the medical schools of the region to a center seeking to define a new practice of community-based participatory research (CBPR). The report summarizes how and why CUES has changed, identifies its main accomplishments and challenges, and discusses some of the lessons learned to date. It illustrates how the principles of CBPR have influenced the development of CUES. The case history suggests that it is possible for an organization to transform itself from a researcher-driven orientation toward a more participatory model. The early history also demonstrates that it is possible to engage community organizations and activists in an ongoing effort to study and address complex urban health problems such as asthma, substance abuse, and infectious diseases. Finally, the report illustrates that CBPR is a process that evolves in response to specific situational factors.
本病例史描述了城市流行病学研究中心（CUES）的历史，这是一个位于纽约市的城市研究中心。1996年至1999年间，CUES从一个与该地区医学院合作的机构转变为一个寻求定义基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）新实践的中心。该报告总结了CUES如何以及为何发生变化，确定了其主要成就和挑战，并讨论了迄今为止吸取的一些经验教训。它说明了CBPR的原则如何影响了CUES的发展。该病例史表明，一个组织有可能从以研究者为主导的方向转变为更具参与性的模式。早期历史还表明，有可能让社区组织和活动家持续参与研究和解决诸如哮喘、药物滥用和传染病等复杂的城市健康问题。最后，该报告表明，CBPR是一个根据特定情境因素不断演变的过程。
