We sought to accomplish this hybridization of CBPR and community trials—in large part—by creating a partnership structure that involved a national membership organization (CADCA), a coalition advisory board, intervention communities, delayed intervention communities, and the academic study team. In Results above, we note a number of areas where this partnership structure was beneficial. These include (1) identifying a research question with high public health significance, (2) enhancing the quality of the intervention, and (3) improving research methods and implementation (e.g., improving response rates).
