Community-based participatory research (CBPR) offers great potential for increasing the impact of research on reducing cancer health disparities. This article reports how the Community Outreach Core (COC) of the Meharry-Vanderbilt-Tennessee State University (TSU) Cancer Partnership has collaborated with community partners to develop and implement CBPR. The COC, Progreso Community Center, and Nashville Latino Health Coalition jointly developed and conducted the 2007 Hispanic Health in Nashville Survey as a participatory needs assessment to guide planning for subsequent CBPR projects and community health initiatives. Trained community and student interviewers surveyed 500 Hispanic adults in the Nashville area, using a convenience sampling method. In light of the survey results, NLHC decided to focus in the area of cancer on the primary prevention of cervical cancer. The survey led to a subsequent formative CBPR research project to develop an intervention, then to funding of a CBPR pilot intervention study to test the intervention.
基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）在增强研究对减少癌症健康差距的影响方面具有巨大潜力。本文报告了梅哈里-范德比尔特-田纳西州立大学（TSU）癌症合作项目的社区外展核心（COC）如何与社区伙伴合作开展和实施CBPR。COC、进步社区中心和纳什维尔拉丁裔健康联盟联合开展并实施了2007年纳什维尔西班牙裔健康调查，作为一项参与性需求评估，以指导后续CBPR项目和社区健康倡议的规划。经过培训的社区和学生访谈员采用便利抽样方法，对纳什维尔地区500名西班牙裔成年人进行了调查。根据调查结果，NLHC决定将癌症领域的重点放在宫颈癌的一级预防上。该调查促成了后续的形成性CBPR研究项目，以开发一种干预措施，随后为一项CBPR试点干预研究提供资金，以测试该干预措施。
