Summary: What Is Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR)? In a nutshell, CBPR is an approach to research in which researchers and community members share power, resources, and decision-making at every level of the research process, working together to enhance the understanding of a given phenomenon and integrating that knowledge with action to improve the health and well-being of those most affected. The goal of this toolkit is to support emerging researchers who would like to learn more about CBPR approaches, particularly in the context of domestic violence. While much of the content is aimed at researchers, there is much here that will help advocates and other community partners understand the CBPR approach and its benefits. This toolkit is designed to help emerging researchers to: • Clarify their theoretical understanding of CBPR, both generally and in the context of domestic violence research. • Conduct the preparatory work necessary for engaging in meaningful CBPR work. • Deepen their knowledge of CBPR values and practices, as they relate to work with domestic violence advocates and survivors in diverse communities. • Increase confidence in their ability to conduct CBPR by engaging with useful examples, practical resources, and lessons learned from CBPR experts. The toolkit is for researchers across disciplines and social locations who are working in academic, policy, community, or practice-based settings. In particular, this toolkit aims to support emerging researchers as they consider whether and how to take a CBPR approach and what it might mean in the context of their professional roles and settings. The authors are a group of CBPR researchers who bring decades of experience doing CBPR from the perspective of different disciplines, professional settings, communities, roles, and identities. Some of the authors are based in universities and others are based in national organizations. All have worked directly in and/or with programs that serve survivors. (From the introduction). The toolkit can be downloaded as a PDF or viewed by topic on the website, which also includes related resources. Record #5750
