Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an important strategy for reducing racial disparities in health outcomes. Academic-community partnerships are central to CBPR; however, there are few examples of how to develop these partnerships for prostate cancer research. This report describes the methods used to develop an academic-community partnership between investigators at the University of Pennsylvania and members of the Philadelphia chapter of the National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer for CBPR on quality of life following prostate cancer diagnosis. Our experiences demonstrate that a significant investment of time is needed to identify a community partner for prostate cancer research and develop an effective partnership.
基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）是减少健康结果方面种族差异的一项重要策略。学术机构与社区的伙伴关系是CBPR的核心；然而，关于如何为前列腺癌研究建立这些伙伴关系的实例却很少。本报告描述了宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员与全国黑人癌症领导倡议组织费城分会成员为开展前列腺癌诊断后生活质量的CBPR而建立学术机构与社区伙伴关系所采用的方法。我们的经验表明，为前列腺癌研究确定社区伙伴并建立有效的伙伴关系需要投入大量时间。
