The Community-Academia Partnered Participatory Research (CPPR) framework focused on a shared goal, collaborative work, and a product obtained through three phases: vision, valley, and victory (10–11). The CPPR is a variant from the community-based participatory research (CBPR) framework in which community-based organizations (CBOs) function as intermediaries to reach the community members which promotes active community participation. CPPR stages include the vision, the valley, and the victory (12). CPPR requires that partners shared a sense of power in the establishment of an authentic partnership and in the development and implementation of an effective intervention product (13). CPPR research informs interventions that are effective including health issues identified by the community, the involvement of stakeholders, the engagement of the community, capacity building and working groups to develop the intervention’s products (14). Following this approach, the community is considered an active member in the research activities and both academic researchers and the community form a council to support and guide action plans through the CPPR stages (14).
