What progress prevention research has made comes through strategic partnerships with communities and institutions that host this research, as well as professional and practice networks that facilitate the diffusion of knowledge about prevention. We discuss partnership issues related to the design, analysis, and implementation of prevention research and especially how rigorous designs, including random assignment, get resolved through a partnership between community stakeholders, institutions, and researchers. These partnerships shape not only study design, but they determine the data that can be collected and how results and new methods are disseminated. We also examine a second type of partnership to improve the implementation of effective prevention programs into practice. We draw on social networks to studying partnership formation and function. The experience of the Prevention Science and Methodology Group, which itself is a networked partnership between scientists and methodologists, is highlighted.
预防研究的进展是通过与开展该研究的社区和机构建立战略伙伴关系以及促进预防知识传播的专业和实践网络取得的。我们讨论了与预防研究的设计、分析和实施相关的伙伴关系问题，特别是如何通过社区利益相关者、机构和研究人员之间的伙伴关系解决包括随机分组在内的严谨设计问题。这些伙伴关系不仅塑造了研究设计，还决定了可以收集的数据以及如何传播结果和新方法。我们还研究了第二种类型的伙伴关系，以改善将有效的预防方案实际实施到实践中。我们借鉴社会网络来研究伙伴关系的形成和功能。预防科学和方法学小组的经验被强调，该小组本身就是科学家和方法学家之间的网络伙伴关系。
