Chunk #16 — METHODS AND RESULTS — Common Elements of the CPBR approach — 6) Community participation in presenting research results to the scientific community
Some suggest that the partnership of CBPR should include the community’s participation in presentation and publication of research results to scientific audiences. Collaboration in this aspect of the research process requires a level of individual commitment and interest on the part of one or more community members that may not be possible to sustain. However, openness to participation by community members may help to assure that the scientific products of the research maintain a focus on community relevance.
