Community-Based Participatory Research Principles

These principles are integral to the community-based participatory research model.

As community-based participatory research, the CHAMACOS Study:

  • Recognizes community as a unit of identity
  • Builds on partners’ strengths and assets
  • Focuses on locally relevant problems & social determinants of health
  • Prioritizes co-learning and a power sharing process
  • Systems development & local capacity building
  • Balances research and action
  • Commits for the long haul to enable sustainability
