Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is necessary for shifting knowledge and empowering community members to establish ownership over research. It was used in this current project to study safety in predominately Black communities. Findings illustrate how the embodiment of power was a present theme and impacted the partnerships among the academics and community, as well as defining "who" could speak on the issues the project was attempting to address. This paper builds upon previous research in CBPR findings to illustrate how community leaders can shape the research, the importance of defining community, and the need to bring to the forefront issues of intersectionality and positionality. In doing so, it attempts to reshape existing CBPR models to better account for the fluid, interactive relationships among the academics, community researchers, and the community leader and expand upon the role of intersectionality in these relationships.
基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）对于转移知识和增强社区成员对研究的所有权至关重要。本研究项目使用了这种方法来研究以黑人为主的社区的安全问题。研究结果表明，权力的体现是一个当前的主题，影响了学术界和社区之间的伙伴关系，以及确定“谁”可以就项目试图解决的问题发表意见。本文以 CBPR 研究结果为基础，阐述了社区领导者如何塑造研究、定义社区的重要性以及需要将交叉性和定位问题摆在首位。通过这样做，它试图重塑现有的 CBPR 模型，以更好地考虑学术界、社区研究人员和社区领导者之间的流动、互动关系，并扩展交叉性在这些关系中的作用。
