Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an important approach to inform the development and implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment strategies. However, there is a paucity of literature describing CBPR from the perspective of community-based organizations (CBOs), specifically AIDS service organizations (ASO). Focusing on the perspective of the executive director (ED) from the partnering ASO, we describe in this paper lessons learned during Project Counseling Others About Contacts and Exposures with HIV (COACH), a CBPR, qualitative study intended to examine perspectives and experiences of professionals and clients regarding partner notification (PN) for HIV. Specifically, we describe opportunities and challenges associated with the time investment, balancing a dual role of service provider and researcher, and partnering with the department of public health. This description of the perspective of the ED from the ASO and the associated lessons learned may inform the actions of other CBOs, including ASOs, considering partnering with academic institutions for CBPR.
基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)是为艾滋病病毒/艾滋病预防和治疗策略的制定与实施提供信息的重要方法。然而,从社区组织(CBO),特别是艾滋病服务组织(ASO)的角度描述CBPR的文献却很匮乏。本文以合作的ASO执行董事(ED)的视角,描述了在“向他人咨询艾滋病病毒接触与暴露情况”(COACH)项目中吸取的经验教训。COACH是一项CBPR定性研究,旨在调查专业人员和客户在艾滋病病毒伴侣通知(PN)方面的观点和经历。具体而言,我们描述了与时间投入、平衡服务提供者和研究者的双重角色以及与公共卫生部门合作相关的机遇和挑战。对ASO的ED视角及相关经验教训的描述,可能会为其他考虑与学术机构合作开展CBPR的CBO(包括ASO)的行动提供参考。
