As part of the planning process for new research, the literature on community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches for promoting physical activity in African American communities was systematically reviewed.
Studies published through October 31, 2015 that employed CBPR methods were identified using PubMed and CINAHL databases and MeSH terms and keyword searches.
A total of 15 studies met the search criteria. One focused on CBPR and physical activity among African American school children and adolescents, 13 on adults, and one on both children and adults. Seven studies employed CBPR methods to promote physical activity in church settings. Eight of the studies had a pre-/post-test design, three had a quasi-experimental design, three had a randomized controlled design, and one was a case study.
Additional CBPR studies and faith-based interventions are needed to identify effective ways to promote physical activity in African American communities to address health disparities. Of particular interest are those that have an adequate sample size and a rigorous design, to overcome limitations of previous studies.
作为新研究规划过程的一部分，对基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）方法促进非裔美国人社区身体活动的文献进行了系统综述。
通过使用PubMed和CINAHL数据库以及医学主题词（MeSH）和关键词搜索，确定了截至2015年10月31日发表的采用CBPR方法的研究。
共有15项研究符合搜索标准。一项关注非裔美国学童和青少年中的CBPR与身体活动，13项关注成年人，一项关注儿童和成年人。七项研究采用CBPR方法在教会环境中促进身体活动。八项研究采用前测/后测设计，三项采用准实验设计，三项采用随机对照设计，一项为案例研究。
需要更多的CBPR研究和基于信仰的干预措施，以确定促进非裔美国人社区身体活动以解决健康差异的有效方法。特别值得关注的是那些有足够样本量和严谨设计的研究，以克服以往研究的局限性。
