Community-based participatory research

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

MeSH - Wikipedia

Research conducted with the collaboration of a community for the purpose of taking action or effecting change. The community, in this case, could be any geographically, socioculturally, or occupationally defined group with common interests and goals. In both participatory research and community-based participatory research, the research questions generally emerge as a result of the attempt to move forward toward a set of objectives, not as the a priori reason for the research.

Collaborative process of research involving researchers and community representatives.
