Awareness of the need for innovative approaches to obtaining feedback in community-based participatory research (CBPR) is increasing. These innovative approaches should incorporate the core principles of CBPR, including equity and co-learning. Additionally, the methods should be culturally appropriate and inclusive of the community and academic partners.
To develop and implement two separate methods of obtaining community feedback for two activities in a CBPR initiative: 1) discussion of three work-group plans during a leadership council meeting; and 2) feedback from the work groups to the target community in a public setting.
In order to facilitate a feedback process for the discussion of 3 separate group action plans, an adapted version of the modified Delphi technique was used during which 42 community and academic partners voted and evaluated each plan both before and after group discussion. Results were immediately posted on a projection screen for the group to process. The second community feedback method incorporated the use of an audience response system (ARS) in order to obtain responses from 187 community participants after hearing summaries of the Witness for Wellness work-group action plans. More than 60% of the respondents added that the use of the handheld device made research seem more relevant and less intimidating.
Both the use of the adapted modified Delphi process and ARS were effective in capturing community feedback related to two group activities in the Witness for Wellness initiative. Both methods also allowed participants to understand the role of research in a community setting.
人们越来越意识到在基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）中需要采用创新方法来获取反馈。这些创新方法应纳入CBPR的核心原则，包括公平性和共同学习。此外，方法应在文化上适宜，并包含社区和学术伙伴。
为CBPR倡议中的两项活动开发并实施两种获取社区反馈的不同方法：1）在领导委员会会议上讨论三个工作组计划；2）在公开场合让工作组向目标社区提供反馈。
为便于对3个不同的团体行动计划进行反馈，采用了改良德尔菲技术的改编版本，在此过程中，42名社区和学术伙伴在小组讨论前后对每个计划进行投票和评估。结果立即显示在投影屏幕上供小组分析。第二种社区反馈方法采用了观众反应系统（ARS），以便在听取健康见证工作组行动计划总结后从187名社区参与者那里获取反馈。超过60%的受访者补充说，使用手持设备使研究看起来更具相关性且不那么令人生畏。
采用改编的改良德尔菲法和ARS都有效地收集了与健康见证倡议中的两项团体活动相关的社区反馈。这两种方法还使参与者理解了研究在社区环境中的作用。
