Abstract:
|
Many population-based studies conducted by investigators at health research agencies and academic centers involve collaboration with community-based partners. A widely used framework in tribal health projects is Community Based Participatory Research (CPBR), which involves community members in "every facet of the research process." If community members are to have substantial input into research design, analysis, and interpretation, they need some understanding of these concepts. However, lack of formal statistics training, as well as many other factors, may make it difficult for some of our collaborators to understand, and ultimately use, the information gained from studies conducted in their communities. The goal of this roundtable is to discuss successful (and possibly unsuccessful) methods for teaching and communicating with our community-based research partners.
