Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a paradigm to study and reduce disparities in health outcomes related to chronic disease. Community advisory boards (CABs) commonly formalize the academic-community partnerships that guide CBPR by providing a mechanism for community members to have representation in research activities. Researchers and funding agencies increasingly recognize the value of the community's contribution to research and acknowledge that community advisory boards are a key component of successful CBPR projects. In this article, we describe the best processes for forming, operating, and maintaining CABs for CBPR. We synthesize the literature and offer our professional experiences to guide formation, operation, and maintenance of CABs.
社区参与式研究(CBPR)是一种研究和减少与慢性病相关的健康结果差异的范例。社区咨询委员会(CAB)通常通过为社区成员提供参与研究活动的代表机制,使学术-社区伙伴关系正式化,从而指导 CBPR。研究人员和资助机构越来越认识到社区对研究的贡献的价值,并承认社区咨询委员会是成功的 CBPR 项目的关键组成部分。在本文中,我们描述了为 CBPR 组建、运营和维护 CAB 的最佳流程。我们综合了文献并提供了我们的专业经验,以指导 CAB 的组建、运营和维护。
