Scaling up community-based participatory research (CBPR) remains challenging. This case-study reports on how, and under which conditions, a CBPR project aiming at promoting exercise among socially disadvantaged women (BIG) scaled up at four project sites. As part of BIG, researchers support city administrations in implementing a participatory project to reach socially disadvantaged women for exercise. The case study was conducted in winter 2020 in southern Germany and is based on a co-creative process involving city administrators and researchers. Following Kohl and Cooley's scaling up dimensions, scaling up BIG was investigated at the four sites using a mixed-method approach. Course registrations and offers were analysed, and qualitative interviews ( = 4) with administrative staff members were conducted and analysed using content analysis. The geographical coverage of exercise classes, the addressed groups, and the utilisation of participatory methods by city administrations are described. All four sites managed to scale-up project activities. Three of the four sites reported that further growth of the project was no longer possible due to limited resources. All sites attempted to reach a larger number of, and more diverse, women. One site managed to scale-up the use of participatory methods within the city administration. The following important facilitators for scaling up CBPR projects were reported: advertisements tailored to the needs of the addressed women, utilising participatory approaches, and equipping project coordinators with sufficient resources.
将基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）扩大规模仍然具有挑战性。本案例研究报告了一个旨在促进社会劣势妇女（BIG）运动的 CBPR 项目如何以及在哪些条件下在四个项目点扩大规模。作为 BIG 的一部分，研究人员支持城市管理部门实施一项参与式项目，以吸引社会劣势妇女参加运动。该案例研究于 2020 年冬季在德国南部进行，基于涉及城市管理人员和研究人员的共创过程。根据 Kohl 和 Cooley 的扩展维度，采用混合方法在四个地点对 BIG 的扩展进行了调查。分析了课程注册和提供情况，并对行政人员进行了 4 次定性访谈（=4），并使用内容分析对访谈进行了分析。描述了运动课程的地理覆盖范围、所涉及的群体以及城市管理部门使用参与式方法的情况。所有四个地点都设法扩大了项目活动的规模。四个地点中有三个报告说，由于资源有限，项目的进一步增长是不可能的。所有地点都试图吸引更多、更多样化的女性。一个地点设法在城市管理部门内扩大参与式方法的使用。报告了以下对 CBPR 项目扩大规模的重要促进因素：针对所涉及妇女的需求定制的广告、利用参与式方法以及为项目协调员配备足够的资源。
