With its emphasis on empowerment, individual and community capacity building, and translating research findings into action, community-based participatory research (CBPR) may be particularly advantageous in work with urban immigrant populations. This paper highlights eight ways in which CBPR has been shown to add value to work with urban underserved communities. It then describes the background, context, and methods of an ecological CBPR project, the Chinatown Restaurant Worker Health and Safety Study, conducted in San Francisco, California, and draws on study processes and outcomes to illustrate each of the eight areas identified. Challenges of using CBPR, particularly with urban immigrant populations, briefly are described, drawing again on the Chinatown study to provide illustrative examples. We discuss lessons learned, through this and other studies, for the effective use of CBPR with urban immigrant populations. We conclude that despite its challenges, this transdisciplinary, community-partnered and action-oriented approach to inquiry can make substantial contributions to both the processes and the outcomes of the research.
基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）强调赋权、个人和社区能力建设，并将研究结果转化为行动，因此在与城市移民群体合作方面可能具有特别的优势。本文重点介绍了 CBPR 在与城市服务不足社区合作方面具有附加值的八种方式。然后，本文描述了在加利福尼亚州旧金山进行的唐人街餐馆工人健康和安全研究这一基于生态的 CBPR 项目的背景、情况和方法，并借鉴研究过程和结果来说明确定的八个领域中的每一个。简要描述了使用 CBPR 面临的挑战，尤其是在与城市移民群体合作方面的挑战，再次引用唐人街研究作为例证。我们通过这项研究和其他研究，讨论了在与城市移民群体有效使用 CBPR 方面的经验教训。我们的结论是，尽管存在挑战，但这种跨学科、社区伙伴关系和以行动为导向的探究方法可以为研究过程和结果做出重大贡献。
