A Discussion Guide for Community-Engaged Participatory Projects
Community-engaged research is essential for building capacity among populations who have historically been and continue to be excluded from conversations about their own well-being and the places in which they live and work. Engaging communities in research works toward racial and class equity and environmental justice. This model also has the added benefit of making research more relevant and effective by engaging community-held knowledge, without being exploitative of the people holding that knowledge.
This guide serves to provide guidance for researchers who are in the project planning phase, and to encourage research teams to include community partners in projects, particularly in leadership roles, and to educate researchers on how to do it.
