| Abstract: |
Each community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnership may incur "ripple effects" -- impacts that happen outside the scope of planned projects. We used brainstorming and interviewing to create a roadmap that incorporated input from nine CBPR participants and five community/academic partners to retrospectively assess the ripple effects observed after five years of participatory research in one urban community. The resulting roadmap reflected a range of community impacts which we then divided into four key areas: impacts in the community (i.e., strategies, programs, and policies implemented by community partners), impacts on the CBPR team, impacts on individuals (participants and community members), and contributions to the field and the university. Our approach focused on observing what happened in the community that was directly or indirectly related to our partnership, process, products, and relationships. Much of the impact we observed reflected the synergy of sharing our research and community voice with responsive partners and stakeholders. |
