Editorial commentary
CBPR is most strongly developed in US public-health research and was formalised by Israel, Schulz, Parker and Becker's nine principles (1998): recognises community as a unit of identity; builds on strengths and resources within the community; facilitates collaborative, equitable partnerships in all phases; fosters co-learning and capacity building; integrates knowledge and action for mutual benefit; promotes a co-learning and empowering process attentive to social inequalities; involves a cyclical and iterative process; addresses health from positive and ecological perspectives; disseminates findings and knowledge gained to all partners. CBPR shares conceptual ground with participatory action research and community-engaged research.
