Ethical Challenges for the
“Outside” Researcher in
Community-Based Participatory Research
Meredith Minkler, DrPH
Although community-based participatory research (CBPR) shares many of the core values of health educa-
tion and related fields, the outside researcher embracing this approach to inquiry frequently is confronted with
thorny ethical challenges. Following a brief review of the conceptual and historical roots of CBPR, Kelly’s eco-
logical principles for community-based research and Jones’s three-tiered framework for understanding racism
are introduced as useful frameworks for helping explore several key challenges. These are (a) achieving a true
“community-driven” agenda; (b) insider-outsider tensions; (c) real and perceived racism; (d) the limitations of
“participation”; and (e) issues involving the sharing, ownership, and use of findings for action. Case studies are
used in an initial exploration of these topics. Green et al.’s guidelines for appraising CBPR projects then are
highlighted as an important tool for helping CBPR partners better address the challenging ethical issues often
inherent in this approach.
Keywords: community-based participatory research; research ethics; community partnerships
With its commitments to education, strengths-based approaches to individual and
community capacity building1-3 and action as part of the research process, community-
based participatory research (CBPR) represents an orientation to inquiry that is highly
consistent with the principles of health education and “public health as social justice.”4 A
partnership approach that breaks down the barriers between the researcher and the
researched5 and values community partners as equal contributors to the research enter-
prise, CBPR also underscores ethical principles such as self-determination, liberty, and
equity and reflects an inherent belief in the ability of people to accurately assess their
strengths and needs and their right to act upon them.6
Yet even when the principles of CBPR are followed, difficult ethical issues often arise
that must be sensitively addressed. Following a brief review of CBPR and its conceptual

A Practical Framework For Social Justice Research In The Information ProfessionsAnna Landers
This paper proposes a practical framework for social justice research in library and information science. The framework is illustrated using three qualitative studies that aim to serve underserved populations. Key elements of social justice research identified are the population, information need, methodology, outcomes, and assessment. Principles of fairness, empowerment, diversity, and community building are represented to varying degrees across the three studies. The framework calls for recognizing marginalized groups as experts, developing equitable partnerships to empower communities, and moving beyond labels to represent all people as equal participants.

This document provides an overview of community-based participatory research (CBPR) based on a review of 60 studies. Some key points:
- CBPR aims to increase the value of research for both researchers and the community through collaborative participation in all stages of the research process.
- Involvement varied across studies but many involved communities in setting priorities, developing measures, and interpreting results. Few reported on community involvement in publishing findings.
- 30 studies included interventions while 30 were non-interventional. Interventions aimed to change behaviors, norms, policies or environments.
- Positive health outcomes were found more consistently in higher quality research designs, showing the importance of rigorous methods in CBPR.

CLARKE BARUDIN HUNT ethics and CBR reiew 2016Jessica Barudin
This document summarizes a literature review on the ethical considerations of community-based rehabilitation (CBR). The review identified five key topic areas related to CBR ethics: partnerships among stakeholders, respect for culture and local experience, empowerment, accountability, and fairness in program design. From these topics, the review formulated eight ethical questions. The questions focus on issues like developing effective partnerships, avoiding imposing outside values, addressing socio-political barriers, and ensuring inclusiveness and fair use of limited resources in CBR programs. Continued engagement with the ethical dimensions of CBR is important for strengthening this approach to rehabilitation.

Collaborative Inquiry: Participatory Action
In this presentation, you will learn more about some specific types of projects in action research. This will provide fertile ground to plant your own possible dissertation concepts and topics to grow and tend over the coming quarters!
Remember – action research must include the participants as part of the solution development, and it must be community based, no matter how broad or large that community might be. Finally, action for social change must occur.
Four typical types of action research:
Diagnostic
– needs assessment or causal analysis (What is causing homelessness in our county?)
Prescriptive
– best program or policy to solve an identified community problem (Which type of housing would best serve the homeless population?)
Implementation
– accomplishes program goals outside of data collection (How can we strengthen ties within our community so that the homeless are not invisible?)
Evaluation
– assesses program impacts (How effective is this program to provide free medical and dental care in meeting the needs of the homeless?)
Any of these examples could be action research, and in some cases, a project may include more than one of these types. Diagnostic and prescriptive are the most common and the ones most often combined.
Most common partners: nonprofit organizations or community-based organizations, so cross-sector collaborations are a key factor. (Intersection of public sector/government, nonprofits/community organizations, and individuals with interests in this topic, plus the researcher.)
Typical ways to link action and research – through outcomes:
Organizing
– helping the participants organize for social change
Advocacy
– advocating for social change with the participants
Most of the time, the outcome in action research is mislabeled as simple reporting – written report, oral presentations, websites on the project, education models. None of these reporting features in and of themselves empower the participants, a key trait of action research.
If the participants only put a report on a shelf, social change has not occurred. Outcomes must be stated clearly.
Partners for action research may include:
Community based organizations
Community residents (individuals)
Coalition groups
Grass roots constituents/special interest constituents
Nonprofit organizations
Educational institutions at all levels
Government agencies
Stages are accomplished with participants, not solely prepared by the researcher:
Defining the research question
Developing the research method
Gathering the data
Analyzing the data
Reporting and acting on the research results/solutions

MDRC Working Papers on Research Methodology In.docxARIV4
The New Chance demonstration project provided educational, social, and employment supports to teenage welfare recipients who had dropped out of high school. While quantitative data from the project found high dropout rates and low service participation, qualitative research in the form of 50 one-on-one interviews with program participants aimed to understand these issues from the participants' perspectives. The interviews explored how life experiences and contexts influenced participation in the program and later success. The qualitative research provided a richer understanding of the quantitative findings and participants' behaviors.
This document provides an overview of research approaches, focusing on descriptive and action research. It defines research as original work to answer a question or solve a problem. Descriptive research aims to accurately describe situations or events, while action research develops new approaches to solve community problems through collaboration between researchers and community members. The document outlines the typical steps for both descriptive and action research projects, including defining topics, reviewing prior work, developing methods, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting results.
The Spectrum of Community-Based Action ResearchEverettProgram
This document discusses community-based action research and community-based participatory research. It provides definitions and objectives of these research approaches, which aim to conduct research that is collaborative, democratic, and seeks to promote social change. A case study is presented on a research project in Santa Cruz County that examined low-wage workers. The benefits of such an approach include ensuring the research question comes from the community, increasing trust and participation, enhancing validity, improving interventions and dissemination of findings to benefit the community.
This document provides guidance on developing an effective research proposal. It begins by explaining the purpose of a research proposal and defining key terms. It then discusses important qualities like being engaging, directive, unique, holistic and keen. The document outlines typical parts of a research proposal like the rationale, statement of problem, methodology and references. Examples are provided for some sections. It emphasizes qualities like clarity, structure and avoiding duplication. Overall, the document aims to help researchers effectively plan and communicate their proposed study.

This article summarizes research on the effects of labeling students as learning disabled. The author reviewed 34 studies from 1970 to 2000 that addressed the impact of the learning disabled label. Four key themes emerged from the literature: 1) Labels can influence the expectations, stereotypes and attitudes of teachers and peers towards students; 2) Labels may lead to stigmatization, rejection and social distance from others; 3) There is a disconnect between expressed attitudes towards labeled students and actual treatment of them; 4) The influence of a label depends on other salient information provided about the student. The author aims to synthesize both qualitative and quantitative research on this topic.
An Interdisciplinary And Development Lens On Knowledge TranslationSara Alvarez
This document discusses knowledge translation (KT) through two case studies in South Africa. KT is defined as a dynamic process involving knowledge synthesis, dissemination, exchange and application. The case studies examine KT at an AIDS vaccine trial site and in biotechnology policy harmonization. An interdisciplinary lens highlights the importance of socioeconomic and political contexts. The developing country setting presents particular KT challenges, such as resource constraints and inclusion of diverse communities, that conventional analyses may overlook. Effective KT in developing countries requires context-specific capabilities and capacities.

This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.
This document discusses participatory research and participatory action research. Participatory research is a collaborative process involving researchers and participants examining and seeking to improve a problematic situation. It emphasizes people, power, and praxis. Participatory action research is a specific form that involves professional researchers collaborating fully with organizational members to study and transform the organization. It is characterized as an ongoing learning process focused on co-learning, participation, and organizational change. The document outlines frameworks for participatory research and participatory action research, compares their processes to conventional research, discusses advantages like empowerment and relevant solutions, and disadvantages like time consumption.

The key attributes of Kraft's primary target market segment are millennial mothers. Millennial mothers represent the largest demographic cohort of new mothers. They are well-educated and family-oriented, seeking products that protect their family's financial well-being. As digital natives, millennial mothers are heavy social media users and influencers. They utilize multiple social networks daily to research products and parenting issues online.
This document discusses the mainstreaming of participatory research in health care. It provides an overview of participatory action research (PAR), including its origins in the 1940s-1960s with Lewin and its growth in Latin America. PAR is defined as a process where a group jointly diagnoses an issue, works to improve it, evaluates effectiveness, and critically reflects. The key is participation, with research conducted and changed by participants. Examples of PAR projects that address health disparities are provided, along with challenges of PAR such as building trust and balancing academic and community needs and timelines. The benefits of community-based participatory research for developing culturally-appropriate measures and establishing trust for quality data collection are also summarized.
10 heuristics for modeling decision makingBarney Stacher
This document discusses ten heuristics for developing interdisciplinary simulation models through collaborative teamwork. It begins by describing the value of integrated system models for addressing complex environmental problems but notes the challenges of developing such models interdisciplinarily.
The heuristics discussed include: carefully selecting team members with big-picture thinking skills; heavily investing in early problem definition through negotiation; and using rapid prototyping rather than attempting to fully specify models upfront. The Sustainability of Arctic Communities project is used to illustrate these heuristics, such as how developing initial conceptual models aided in problem definition and team assembly.
This document provides an overview of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) including its history, principles, challenges, and benefits. Some key points:
1) CBPR aims to equitably involve community partners in all stages of research to address issues important to the community and promote social change.
2) Its roots trace back to action research and empowerment models that recognize communities as partners rather than subjects.
3) Challenges include balancing academic and community priorities, building trust over time, and ensuring research is culturally appropriate and sustainable.
4) Benefits include enhancing relevance, validity, translation and sustainability of research findings to improve community health.
WORKING WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS AS ‘VOLUNTEERS’IN A VA.docxdunnramage
This document discusses the experiences and implications of involving community health workers (CHWs) in a vaccine trial in Kenya. CHWs were initially engaged to inform community members about the trial, but over time took on roles like sharing trial information and identifying potential participants, similar to employed fieldworkers. While CHW involvement was generally positive, their different levels and forms of payment compared to fieldworkers led to some challenges in relationships and potentially influenced how CHWs communicated with community members about the trial. The experiences highlight the need to carefully consider the roles and compensation of all staff involved in community engagement for clinical trials.

This article summarizes research on the effects of labeling students as learning disabled. The author reviewed 34 studies from 1970 to 2000 that addressed the impact of the learning disabled label. Four key themes emerged from the literature: 1) Labels can influence the expectations, stereotypes and attitudes of teachers and peers towards students; 2) Labels may lead to stigmatization, rejection and social distance from others; 3) There is a disconnect between expressed attitudes towards labeled students and actual treatment of them; 4) The influence of a label depends on other salient information provided about the student. The author aims to synthesize both qualitative and quantitative research on this topic.
An Interdisciplinary And Development Lens On Knowledge TranslationSara Alvarez
This document discusses knowledge translation (KT) through two case studies in South Africa. KT is defined as a dynamic process involving knowledge synthesis, dissemination, exchange and application. The case studies examine KT at an AIDS vaccine trial site and in biotechnology policy harmonization. An interdisciplinary lens highlights the importance of socioeconomic and political contexts. The developing country setting presents particular KT challenges, such as resource constraints and inclusion of diverse communities, that conventional analyses may overlook. Effective KT in developing countries requires context-specific capabilities and capacities.
Dr Margo Greenwood (March 2017) Community- Based Participatory Research: A S...Sightsavers
This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.
This document discusses participatory research and participatory action research. Participatory research is a collaborative process involving researchers and participants examining and seeking to improve a problematic situation. It emphasizes people, power, and praxis. Participatory action research is a specific form that involves professional researchers collaborating fully with organizational members to study and transform the organization. It is characterized as an ongoing learning process focused on co-learning, participation, and organizational change. The document outlines frameworks for participatory research and participatory action research, compares their processes to conventional research, discusses advantages like empowerment and relevant solutions, and disadvantages like time consumption.

This document discusses key aspects of action research. It notes that action research has evolved over time from teachers being viewed as data gatherers for university researchers to practitioners conducting their own research. The document outlines four key aspects: 1) The history and evolution of action research, 2) Issues of quality and validity in action research compared to traditional research, 3) The political challenges action researchers may face when questioning the status quo, and 4) Implications for educators conducting action research through the practitioner-based inquiry module.
Qualitative And Quantitative Approach To Research QuestionsAshley Jean
The key attributes of Kraft's primary target market segment are millennial mothers. Millennial mothers represent the largest demographic cohort of new mothers. They are well-educated and family-oriented, seeking products that protect their family's financial well-being. As digital natives, millennial mothers are heavy social media users and influencers. They utilize multiple social networks daily to research products and parenting issues online.
This document discusses the mainstreaming of participatory research in health care. It provides an overview of participatory action research (PAR), including its origins in the 1940s-1960s with Lewin and its growth in Latin America. PAR is defined as a process where a group jointly diagnoses an issue, works to improve it, evaluates effectiveness, and critically reflects. The key is participation, with research conducted and changed by participants. Examples of PAR projects that address health disparities are provided, along with challenges of PAR such as building trust and balancing academic and community needs and timelines. The benefits of community-based participatory research for developing culturally-appropriate measures and establishing trust for quality data collection are also summarized.
10 heuristics for modeling decision makingBarney Stacher
This document discusses ten heuristics for developing interdisciplinary simulation models through collaborative teamwork. It begins by describing the value of integrated system models for addressing complex environmental problems but notes the challenges of developing such models interdisciplinarily.
The heuristics discussed include: carefully selecting team members with big-picture thinking skills; heavily investing in early problem definition through negotiation; and using rapid prototyping rather than attempting to fully specify models upfront. The Sustainability of Arctic Communities project is used to illustrate these heuristics, such as how developing initial conceptual models aided in problem definition and team assembly.
This document provides an overview of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) including its history, principles, challenges, and benefits. Some key points:
1) CBPR aims to equitably involve community partners in all stages of research to address issues important to the community and promote social change.
2) Its roots trace back to action research and empowerment models that recognize communities as partners rather than subjects.
3) Challenges include balancing academic and community priorities, building trust over time, and ensuring research is culturally appropriate and sustainable.
4) Benefits include enhancing relevance, validity, translation and sustainability of research findings to improve community health.
WORKING WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS AS ‘VOLUNTEERS’IN A VA.docxdunnramage
This document discusses the experiences and implications of involving community health workers (CHWs) in a vaccine trial in Kenya. CHWs were initially engaged to inform community members about the trial, but over time took on roles like sharing trial information and identifying potential participants, similar to employed fieldworkers. While CHW involvement was generally positive, their different levels and forms of payment compared to fieldworkers led to some challenges in relationships and potentially influenced how CHWs communicated with community members about the trial. The experiences highlight the need to carefully consider the roles and compensation of all staff involved in community engagement for clinical trials.

Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test.docxhyacinthshackley2629
Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test on your network. Several vulnerabilities were identified, and the IT security management team has recommended mitigation. The manager has asked you to construct a plan of action and milestones (POA&M) given that the following vulnerabilities and mitigations were identified:
The penetration test showed that not all systems had malware protection software in place. The mitigation was to write a malware defense process to include all employees and retest the system after the process was implemented.
The penetration test indicated that the data server that houses employee payroll records had an admin password of “admin.” The mitigation was to perform extensive hardening of the data server.
The penetration test also identified many laptop computers that employees brought to work and connected to the internal network,some of which were easily compromised. The mitigation was to write a bring your own device (BYOD) policy for all employees and train the employees how to use their devices at work.

Your company You are a new Supply Chain Analyst with the ACME.docxhyacinthshackley2629
Your company: You are a new Supply Chain Analyst with the ACME Corporation. We design specialty electronics that are components in larger finished goods such as major appliances, automobiles and industrial equipment. Manufacturing is outsourced to low-cost suppliers due to the significant labor contribution and closeness to electronic component suppliers.
Your product: ACME Corp. designs a leading-edge family of devices branded as “Voice Assistants.” These are add-on boxes that many OEMs are using as plug-and-play devices in a wide variety of Internet-of-Things products. They are also sold directly to consumers as after-market items, but only for IoT devices that were built with our proprietary data-port.
Figure 1: Product line of ACME Corp Voice Assistant IoT Add-on Boxes
Your task: Your Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) is requesting a review of supplier-to-customer processes as related to recent growth in our company and increasing demand for faster responsiveness to customers. One alternative is to decentralize our inventory into regional Distribution Centers; however, our ERP system is currently limited in the data available to make some of these decisions – and the output reports are very antiquated. Starting off the process, the CSCO directed that your Analysis Team use population data to pro-rate our national sales data as a starting point. For this analysis, you are asked to focus only on the flagship product, Voice Assistant IoT Add-on Box, 4GB, SKU #123-456789. The challenge is now yours to complete some computations and interpret the results!
Your data: A detailed report from your ERP system along with secondary data from the U.S. Census Bureau (reference: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/data-sets.html) is provided. (Note: Sales to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are handled by a 3PL provider and therefore are NOT part of this analysis.) The consolidated EXCEL® file has incorporated several tasks already performed by the Analysis Team --- sort, cleanse, inventory optimization, etc. Other tasks remain for your team.
Detailed Requirements: Prepare a formal report summarizing your results and providing recommendations that are supported by facts. The required layout follows:
A. Supply Chain Management:
a. Identify a single key supplier and a single key customer for your product, including a brief description of their product.
b. Identify the proper type of business relationship that your company should have with the supplier and customer from Part A, above, then briefly describe the data that you would share with them.
c. When implementing Supply Chain Management with your #1 key supplier for the first time, create a timeline that lists each of the six SCOR processes in the order that you recommend implementation; include process leader (by job title), primary contact at supplier/customer (by job title), and duration to implement.

Ethical Challenges for the
“Outside” Researcher in
Community-Based Participatory Research
Meredith Minkler, DrPH
Although community-based participatory research (CBPR)
shares many of the core values of health educa-
tion and related fields, the outside researcher embracing this
approach to inquiry frequently is confronted with
thorny ethical challenges. Following a brief review of the
conceptual and historical roots of CBPR, Kelly’s eco-
logical principles for community-based research and Jones’s
three-tiered framework for understanding racism
are introduced as useful frameworks for helping explore several
key challenges. These are (a) achieving a true
“community-driven” agenda; (b) insider-outsider tensions; (c)
real and perceived racism; (d) the limitations of
“participation”; and (e) issues involving the sharing, ownership,
and use of findings for action. Case studies are
used in an initial exploration of these topics. Green et al.’s
guidelines for appraising CBPR projects then are
highlighted as an important tool for helping CBPR partners
better address the challenging ethical issues often
inherent in this approach.
Keywords: community-based participatory research; research
2. ethics; community partnerships
With its commitments to education, strengths-based approaches
to individual and
community capacity building1-3 and action as part of the
research process, community-
based participatory research (CBPR) represents an orientation to
inquiry that is highly
consistent with the principles of health education and “public
health as social justice.”4 A
partnership approach that breaks down the barriers between the
researcher and the
researched5 and values community partners as equal
contributors to the research enter-
prise, CBPR also underscores ethical principles such as self-
determination, liberty, and
equity and reflects an inherent belief in the ability of people to
accurately assess their
strengths and needs and their right to act upon them.6
Yet even when the principles of CBPR are followed, difficult
ethical issues often arise
that must be sensitively addressed. Following a brief review of
CBPR and its conceptual

of these challenges, illus-
trations from contemporary case studies are presented and
analyzed to provide an intro-
ductory look at the overarching issues discussed, as a stimulus
to further dialogue. The
article will conclude with implications for practice, including
the utility of the guidelines
for appraising CBPR projects developed by Green and his
colleagues11 in helping
outsiders and their community partners address these and other
challenging issues.
BACKGROUND
CBPR is an overarching term that increasingly is used to
encompass a variety of
approaches to research, such as collaborative inquiry,
participatory action research
(PAR), feminist participatory research, and action research.6
Although differing in their
goals and change strategies, these approaches may be seen to
share a set of core values
and principles12 and have as their centerpiece three interrelated
elements: participation,
5. research, and action.13 As summarized by Israel and her
colleagues,3 the fundamental
principles of such research are that
• it is participatory;
• it is cooperative, engaging community members and
researchers in a joint process to which
each contributes equally;
• it is a colearning process;
• it involves systems development and local capacity building;
• it is an empowering process through which participants can
increase control of their lives;
and
• it achieves a balance between research and action.
As suggested above, CBPR is not a method per se but an
orientation to research that may
employ any of a number of qualitative and quantitative
methodologies. As Cornwall and
Jewkes5 note, what is distinctive about CBPR “is not the
methods used but methodologi-
cal contexts of their application”; what is new is “the attitudes
of researchers, which in
turn determine how, by and for whom research is conceptualized
and conducted [and] the
corresponding location of power at every stage of the research
process” (p. 1667). The
accent placed in CBPR on individual, organizational, and
community empowerment,
involving “participation, control and critical awareness” at each
of these levels14 also is a
hallmark of this approach to research.
For the purposes of this article, and drawing on the work of
6. Israel and her colleagues3
and Green et al.,11 CBPR is defined as
Minkler / Ethical Challenges 685

a collaborative process that equitably involves all partners in
the research process and recog-
nizes the unique strengths that each brings. CBPR begins with a
research topic of importance
to the community with the aim of combining knowledge and
action for social change
to improve health and human welfare.15 Explicit throughout the
CBPR process are the
deconstruction of power and the democratization of
knowledge16 such that the experien-
tial knowledge of community members is valued and knowledge
that previously was the
purview of scholars is accessible physically and intellectually to
community participants,
as well as being relevant to their needs and concerns.
The approaches to inquiry known as CBPR are rooted in two
distinct but interrelated
traditions: the action research school developed by social
psychologist Kurt Lewin17 in
the 1940s and the more revolutionary alternative approaches to
research that emerged,
often independently from one another, from work with
7. oppressed communities in South
America, Asia, and Africa in the 1970s.13,18-21 From Lewin’s
work, CBPR takes its
emphasis on the active involvement in the research of those
affected by the problem under
study through a cyclical process of fact finding, action, and
reflection, leading to further
inquiry and action for change. The work of Brazilian adult
educator Paulo Freire simi-
larly provides critical grounding for CBPR, in its development
of a dialogical method
accenting colearning and action based on critical reflection.21
Freire,21 Fals-Borda,19 and
other third world scholars developed their revolutionary
approaches to inquiry as a direct
counter to the often “colonizing” nature of research to which
oppressed communities
were subjected. Later contributions of feminist researchers22
and poststructuralists and
postcolonialists (who attempt to surface and give primacy to
“community narratives” and
explanations of their life conditions23,24) further built on this
alternative research tradition
and provided additional conceptual richness.
With the increasing emphasis on partnership approaches to
improving community
health and welfare, CBPR is experiencing a rebirth of interest
and unprecedented new
opportunities for both scholarly recognition and financial
support. In the health field, the
Institute of Medicine25 recently named community-based
participatory research as one of
eight new areas in which all schools of public health should be
offering training, and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has mounted
8. a major new funding
initiative in this area. The Research Triangle Institute–
University of North Carolina
Evidence-Based Practice Center recently completed a
comprehensive study of the evi-
dence base for CBPR in public health,26 commissioned by the
Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ). The latter organization also
sponsored a special issue of
the Journal of General Internal Medicine27 on this approach.
Finally, organizations like
Community Campus Partnerships for Health
(http://www.futurehealth.ucsf.edu/
ccph.html) have been among those working actively to help
develop new standards for
engaged scholarship so that faculty members who undertake
research with community
partners are not penalized by a university reward system that
has tended to devalue such
collaborative endeavors.28,29
Although the renewed interest in CBPR provides a welcome
contrast to more tradi-
tional top-down research approaches, it also increases the
dangers of co-optation as this
label is loosely applied to include research and intervention
efforts in search of funding
and that are more truly “community placed” than “community
based.” Within this con-
text, it becomes increasingly imperative to underscore the key
elements of the authentic
partnerships approaches characterized by CBPR and to explore
the many ethical chal-
lenges that such work may entail.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Almost 40 years ago, community psychologist James G.
Kelly7,30 developed his eco-
logical orientation to prevention, emphasizing the
interdependence of persons and their
social environments. In subsequent work, Keller and his
colleagues9 suggested that the
quality of findings in areas such as CBPR is “directly and
immeasurably affected by the
processes and actions when beginning and maintaining a
working relationship between
professionals and citizens” (p. 348). Kelly also posited that an
ecological approach
involves “adapting the research enterprise to the culture and
context of the participants”
(p. 348)9 and preserving and contributing to individual and
community resources.7 He
further argued that the quality of the research relationship
would affect each stage of the
process up to and including the use of findings for action.
Finally, he stressed the impor-
tance of identifying “the points of policy impact before the
research begins” and of care-
fully attending to potential side effects of participation as
critical to the research enter-
prise7 (pp. 8-9).
Complementing Kelly’s premises and principles, and of
10. particular importance in
CBPR partnerships characterized by deep cultural divides
between outside researchers
and community members, is a second conceptual approach:
Camara Jones’s10 three-
tiered framework for understanding racism. Briefly, as Jones
notes, racism may be insti-
tutionalized (manifesting in access to power and material
conditions), personally medi-
ated (encompassing prejudice and discrimination based on
stereotypic race-based
assumptions and judgments), or internalized (reflected in
people’s own acceptance of
negative messages concerning their own race or ethnic group).
As Vivian Chavez and her
colleagues31 point out, and as demonstrated later in this article,
“The interaction of institu-
tionalized racism, personally mediated racism and internalized
racism produces a climate
that can manifest itself in CBPR” with unfortunate
consequences (p. 84). Together with
related concepts described below, including historical
trauma32,33 and cultural humility,34
Jones’s typology is used, with Kelly’s ecological premises and
principles, to foster a
beginning dialogue on, and exploration of, five ethical
challenges commonly faced in
CBPR.
“COMMUNITY-DRIVEN” ISSUE SELECTION
A key distinguishing feature of CBPR involves its commitment
to ensuring that the
topic to be investigated comes from the community.18,35 Yet as
Peter Reason36 has pointed
11. out, many such projects “paradoxically . . . would not occur
without the initiative of some-
one with time, skill, and commitment, someone who will almost
inevitably be a member
of a privileged and educated group” (p. 334).
Can true CBPR take place when the research question itself
comes from an outsider to
the community? Sociologist Randy Stoecker35 answers
cautiously in the affirmative, not-
ing that the “initiator” is one of several roles outside academics
usefully can play in the
participatory research process. Yet he points to the critical need
for skills in community
organizing and group dynamics if the outsider is to be
successful in helping shift control
to the community.
When the topic for a potential research partnership does come
from an outsider, a key
preliminary step should involve determining whether the
proposed subject really is high
on the agenda of the affected community. As Kelly et al.9
suggest, the role of a liaison per-
son who can serve as a “boundary spanner” and mediator
helping in the definition of
Minkler / Ethical Challenges 687
at WALDEN UNIVERSITY on December 17,
2014heb.sagepub.comDownloaded from
http://heb.sagepub.com/
mutual goals can be critical in this and subsequent stages of the
12. research. The wisdom of
Kelly’s emphasis on the critical initiation phase of CBPR, and
on the usefulness of a com-
munity liaison to facilitate early interactions, was demonstrated
for my colleague,
Kathleen Roe and I, in the Grandparent Caregiver Study that
was carried out in Oakland,
California, during the crack cocaine epidemic in the early
1990s. When we first became
interested in the problems and strengths faced by African
American grandparents raising
grandchildren in the context of the epidemic, we questioned
whether as White women,
privileged in terms of education and socioeconomic status, we
should even hope to play a
role in helping study this sensitive topic. We therefore began by
enlisting the support of a
liaison person—an older colleague with deep roots in the local
African American com-
munity. With her as our “cultural guide,” we met with two
prominent African American
community-based organizations (CBOs) to ask whether the issue
was indeed of concern
to the local community, and if so, whether we as outsiders,
together with some interested
African American graduate students, might play a role helping
to study it. On receiving
an enthusiastic response, we wrote a grant proposal that
included funds for these organi-
zations, which in turn assisted us in putting together a strong
community advisory board
(CAB). The latter’s extensive participation in phrasing the
interview questions, sampling
considerations, dialoging about the findings, returning findings
to the community, and
using the results as the basis of action greatly enhanced both the
13. quality of the findings
achieved and their application for social change.37
The Grandparent Caregiver Study, which helped to catalyze
several years of subse-
quent action with and by local community partners (e.g., in the
formation of a regional
coalition that worked for legislative change), provides an
example of how a topic that
originates with the interests of outside researchers can
nevertheless become “owned” by
the community so that the resulting project truly reflects their
interests and concerns. Yet
as Labonté points out, “communities are not homogenous,” and
not infrequently in such
collaborations, “the community” is, in fact, deeply divided over
an issue.38 Outside
researchers therefore must take particular care in helping
community partners think
through the pros and cons of undertaking the project to begin
with.
On one hand, CBPR lends itself to the study of controversial
issues, because through
dialogue and critical reflection, hard issues can receive the
benefit of open and frank scru-
tiny and debate.39 On the other hand, however, because CBPR
is committed in part to
strengthening community capacity and trust, choosing as an
issue a topic that may further
divide community members may hold considerable risk. In such
instances, as Kelly et al.9
suggest, the ethical premise underlying topic selection may be
that “ecological research
preserves and enhances . . . [the community’s] natural human
14. resources” (p. 349). Partic-
ularly in low-income communities of color and other
disenfranchised groups, the impor-
tance of achieving consensus on an issue that is truly of, by, and
for the community should
be underscored, and approaches, such as focus groups and town
hall meetings, should be
employed to help facilitate this process.
INSIDER-OUTSIDER TENSIONS
Power dynamics and other sources of insider-outsider tensions
and misunderstand-
ings in CBPR have been widely discussed in the
literature.12,39,40 As noted below, such ten-
sions may have multiple immediate or surface causes. Yet often
underlying them, particu-
larly in cross-cultural research, are far deeper and more
complex issues. The concept of
historical trauma,32,33 for example, has been used, especially
in relation to Native Ameri-
688 Health Education & Behavior (December 2004)
at WALDEN UNIVERSITY on December 17,

http://heb.sagepub.com/
can and African American communities, to explicate how the
assaults visited on earlier
generations (e.g., colonization and slavery) may have physical
and mental health effects
on subsequent generations, contributing to health disparities. As
Chavez and her col-
15. leagues31 note, historical trauma, together with internalized
oppression (people’s accep-
tance of the negative messages they receive about their own
race or ethnicity) and institu-
tional and personally mediated racism,10 may contribute to “a
dialectic of resistance
between outsider research partners and community participants
with very real ethical
dilemmas in speaking truth to power” (p. 87).
A useful case study in this regard may be found in health
education professor Nina
Wallerstein’s12 frank and detailed look at how her efforts to
engage in a truly participatory
evaluation of New Mexico’s Healthier Communities Initiative
were compromised by her
failure to adequately assess the sources and extent of
community distrust in this situation.
Native coalition members’ perceptions of the “weight of
authority” she carried as a uni-
versity faculty member, a dominant culture urban White, and
the recipient of a large grant
from the Department of Health, thus led to her being perceived
as “having power to
potentially control how the ‘state’ directed their work” (p. 48).
As a consequence,
Wallerstein notes, participation in the project was perceived as
not truly voluntary, and
resistance (e.g., in an “unwillingness to subject the coalition to
critical scrutiny” about
their adherence to healthier communities principles) was
encountered (p. 48). Although
this project had a fortunate outcome, helping to catalyze the
partners’ development of the
widely used Evaluation Workbook for Community Initiatives,41
it stands as an important
16. example of the room for misunderstanding and tensions even in
situations in which there
is a long history of trust and collaboration between community
and outside research
partners.
Layered on more deep-seated sources of insider-outsider
tensions are those that arise
around the often substantial differences in the timetable and
priority ascribed to the
research by community and outside research partners. As
Stoecker35 and others39,42 sug-
gest, genuine collaboration takes not insignificant amounts of
time, for meetings,
accountability processes, and for working through conflicts.
Such time may be in espe-
cially “short supply” for community partners.
Still another source of insider-outsider tensions involves the
differential reward struc-
tures for partners in CBPR. As Kelly7 and others1,3,13 suggest,
a major aim of such research
is to benefit the local community by providing new information
on a topic of concern,
increasing human resources, and including action to help
redress the problem (and ide-
ally facilitate social change) as an integral part of the research
process. Despite these
laudable goals, however, community partners not infrequently
perceive that it is the aca-
demic or professional researchers who stand to gain the most
from such collaborations,
bringing in grants (often with salary support), adding to their
publication lists, and so
forth. The common expectation that community partners will
work in a minimally paid
17. capacity and the fact that receipt of compensation may take
months if the funds are com-
ing through university or other large bureaucratic systems
understandably may be
sources of considerable resentment and frustration.3,42,43
Substantially increasing the
funding allocated for community partners and working with
CBOs to enhance their fidu-
ciary capacity so that they can themselves become fiscal agents
on future CBPR grants3,43
are among the recommendations that have been put forth to help
address such concerns.
In addition, increased success has been demonstrated in
partnership efforts that have had
access to flexible, discretionary dollars or “braided funding
streams,”44 enabling the
funding of new activities based on emerging community needs
and not tied to rigid
budgets created before the project began.

Through these and other means, outside researchers can help
minimize some of the
causes of insider-outsider tension that frequently hamper
participatory research efforts.
As noted above, however, such sources of tensions are often
simply surface manifesta-
tions of far deeper concerns. As Wallerstein12 reminds us,
18. “only through engaging in open
dialogue about the inequities and hidden nature of power, can
the relationship become
reciprocal and ultimately transformed” (p. 49).
RACISM AND CULTURAL HUMILITY
In the United States, as in many parts of the world, CBPR has
tended to involve work
with and by low-income communities, which tend to be
disproportionately communities
of color.6 Because the outside researchers in CBPR partnerships
frequently do not share
the race, ethnicity, or culture(s) of their community partners,
opportunities for cultural
misunderstandings and for real or perceived racism are often
substantial. For activist
Makani Themba,45 “racism is like the gorilla in the living
room. It’s running through the
place, making noises, and everyone is trying to sit politely and
ignore it” (p. 92). Jones’s10
three-tiered framework of institutionalized, personally
mediated, and internalized racism
is helpful for deconstructing, understanding, and confronting
difficult situations in CBPR
in which “the gorilla” is present, often in multiple forms, yet
typically not acknowledged.
One such deeply troubling situation occurred for the author
when I was hired as a
research consultant to help a nonprofit organization design and
conduct a participatory
evaluation of a large community health intervention project.
The organization’s staff had
put together an impressive-sounding CAB, including program
19. participants, researchers,
and high-level administrators. Because the topic area of this
study was outside my area of
expertise, I did not recognize many of the names involved but
was pleased when I walked
into the first advisory committee meeting to see that most of the
members, including the
high-level administrators, were, in fact, people of color.
Unfortunately, however, all but
one of the researchers on the CAB were White, so when my time
came to lead a discus-
sion on the research objectives, survey instrument, and analysis
plan, the conversation
was quickly dominated by the White members present.
Although no one brought this awkward dynamic up at the
meeting, several written
evaluations suggested that members had indeed been disturbed
by what had transpired,
and one individual used the word racist in his or her comments.
Upon learning from staff
of these concerns, I consulted a member of the CAB who was
particularly knowledgeable
about racism and cultural miscommunication. With her support,
and the staff’s approval,
I then called other members of the committee to sincerely
apologize for my role in this sit-
uation and to try to engage them in a conversation about how
such occurrences could be
prevented in the future. Although a few members were eager to
talk, others changed the
subject or said that nothing had happened.
In retrospect, all three forms of racism may have been present
in this situation. Institu-
tionalized racism severely limited the number of highly trained
20. researchers of color who
might otherwise have been available for participation in a study
like this one. Personally
mediated racism was reflected in my own inability to
immediately recognize and effec-
tively deal with the one-sided nature of the conversation that
took place. And finally,
internalized racism may also have been at work. As an outsider,
it is difficult for me to
place myself in the shoes of the participants of color who
reported seeing no problem with
what transpired. Jones’s framework would suggest that for
some, however, not noticing,
acknowledging, or appearing concerned by the White-dominated
nature of the discussion
690 Health Education & Behavior (December 2004)
at WALDEN UNIVERSITY on December 17,
2014heb.sagepub.comDownloaded from
http://heb.sagepub.com/
and project decision making that ensued may well have
reflected a deeper dynamic. The
“gorilla in the living room” is hard to talk about, but those of us
working cross-culturally
in CBPR partnerships need to be aware of the potential for all
three forms of racism and to
have what physician Melanie Tervalon and public health leader
Jane Murray-Garcia34 call
“cultural humility” as we try to navigate this difficult terrain.
As they point out, although
none of us can truly become “competent” in another’s culture,
we can approach cross-
21. cultural situations with a humble attitude characterized by
reflection on our own biases
and sources of invisible privilege, an openness to the culture
and reality of others, and a
willingness to listen and continually learn.
Approaching our work with cultural humility also means
supporting partners of color
in the often difficult roles they are likely to play as “outsiders
within.” The need for such
support was well demonstrated recently in an ambitious CBPR
project addressing asthma
in a low-income and largely minority community in Seattle,
Washington. As part of its
multifaceted Seattle Partners for Healthy Communities project,
the local health depart-
ment took care to develop a crossover study for the asthma
project: The control house-
holds, rather than getting nothing at all, received a less
intensive form of the intervention
initially and then the full intervention, including home
assessments, within a year. Unfor-
tunately, however, it fell to some of the community partners—
trained Community Health
Workers (CHWs), many of whom “have personal relationships
or community connec-
tions with participants,” to explain to some unhappy control
group members why they
were not receiving the full intervention from the very
beginning.43 Kelly’s principle
underscoring the need to develop research procedures for
carefully studying and moni-
toring side effects is relevant here, as the costs to CHWs of
their participation in this
instance may have been substantial. Furthermore, and taking a
cue from Paulo Freire,21 a
22. critical challenge for outsiders in CBPR projects involves
helping to ensure that such
community partners do not become strangers in their own
communities. In efforts like the
Seattle asthma project, holding town hall meetings and other
forums in which outside
researchers can be present to help explain the study strategy and
“take the heat” if neces-
sary is important both ethically and in terms of maintaining the
goodwill needed to enable
such research to continue. As Kelly7 further suggests, however,
before such dynamics can
even be understood, the local contexts in which insiders (and
outsiders within) operate,
and how these contexts in turn affect “the processes of
empirical inquiry and
collaborative work,” must be carefully and collaboratively
studied as well.
PARTICIPATION AND ITS LIMITATIONS
CBPR’s commitment to high-level community participation
throughout the research
process raises difficult ethical and practical challenges,
beginning with the question of
who truly represents “the community.” In contrast to popular
definitions of community
based on shared geography, demographic characteristics, or
sense of identity and com-
mon interests, academic social work professor Mieko
Yoshihama and her former doctoral
student E. Summerson Carr46 argued that “communities are not
places that researchers
enter but are instead a set of negotiations that inherently entail
multiple and often conflict-
ing interests” (p. 99). The Hmong Women’s Project in a large
23. midwestern city, a feminist
participatory action research effort that they initiated, well
illustrates this perspective.
When a variety of factors, including extensive mobility and
close contacts with family
across city and state lines, thwarted their efforts to adequately
capture “the Hmong com-
munity,” these outside partners asked study participants to
define the term. The commu-

nity was defined very differently depending on the background
and circumstances of the
persons with whom the outside researchers spoke, with strong
divides on the basis of reli-
gion, urban-suburban residence, level of assimilation, and
gender among the factors
helping to shape and determine the definitions of community
put forth.
The academic partners in this collaborative study also
discovered that, like notions of
“community,” “the parameters of . . . what counts for
participation are inherently unsta-
ble, requiring constant negotiation of ideas, values, identities
and interests among all who
participate” (p. 85).46 Hmong women were involved in this
project in part through a series
of participatory workshops, in which they used photovoice47
24. and critical dialogue to sig-
nificantly expand the topic of interest (from domestic violence
to women’s safety and
well-being) and then plan for and implement a new CBO to help
them address these con-
cerns. The outside researchers’ efforts to promote maximum
community participation
well reflected Kelly’s concern with “adapting the research
enterprise to the culture and
context of the participants” (p. 348).9 Careful attention thus
was paid to site selection,
providing culturally appropriate food and child care, hiring a
community resident to help
with recruitment, extensive outreach, and conducting the
workshops in Hmong rather
than English. Although these efforts succeeded overall,
particularly early on in the pro-
ject, participation tended to be fluid, with conflicting personal
and family issues and pri-
orities frequently meaning that different women (albeit often
related through family and
friendship networks) would attend each meeting. Such fluidity
in participation clearly
challenges efforts to reach consensus and to build in continuity
in the traditional sense.
Again, however, an ecological perspective is valuable here: In
communities characterized
by flux and movement, our notions of participation similarly
must be flexible enough to
take into account the culture and social environment of the
community members with
whom we work and to reflect critically on our own role as
outside researchers in relation
to them.
A thorough discussion of all of the dimensions of participation
25. that raise vexing chal-
lenges for the outside researcher is beyond the scope of this
article, and readers are
directed to the work of Kelly,7,9 Green and Mercer,1
Maguire,22 Wallerstein,12 and oth-
ers,3,43 for a more in-depth look at this area. Green and
Mercer, for example, make a case
for broadening participation to include a variety of
stakeholders, rather than solely com-
munity members. Similarly, and building on Aiwa Ong’s48
reminder that within every
Third World there’s a First World, Wallerstein and Duran49 (p.
34) urge us to question the
common practice of seeking service providers in CBOs to serve
as the sole community
representatives on advisory boards in CBPR projects. With
Green and Mercer,1 they
would have us reflect carefully on the question, “If stakeholders
reflect people who have
the power base of the First World, are they appropriate to fully
represent local community
residents?“1
An in-depth look at the ethical challenges embedded in CBPR’s
commitment to partic-
ipation would include as well grappling with the problems that
may arise when commu-
nity desires with respect to research design and methods bump
up against what outside
researchers consider to be “good science.” For although CBPR
involves “broadening the
bandwidth of validity”50 to include, for example, the validity or
usefulness of topic selec-
tion from a community perspective, it should not mean
lessening our concern with adher-
ence to basic commitments to scientific rigor and to methods for
26. achieving valid and reli-
able findings. Israel et al.’s3 notion of “equitably involving all
partners” and “appreciating
the unique strengths each brings” to the CBPR process is
helpful here, as are colearning
workshops and constant dialogue about decision making and the
rationale behind the use
of particular methodological approaches and related issues.
Engaging in CBPR does not

mean leaving one’s own scientific standards and knowledge
base at the door but rather
sharing one’s own “unique gifts,” including one’s skills as a
research methodologist,
while accepting the gifts of others through a genuinely
reciprocal learning process.3,43,51
SHARING FINDINGS AND GETTING TO ACTION
A fundamental tenet of CBPR involves its commitments to
giving the study findings
back to the community and facilitating strong community
involvement in decision mak-
ing about the use of those findings for action and social
change.13,16 Although such com-
mitments may seem ethically above reproach, however, each
may raise difficult dilem-
mas for the outsider as research partner. In the Grandparent
27. Caregiver Study mentioned
earlier, the sharing of study findings at a luncheon attended by
all but 2 of the 71 study
participants helped validate our hope that the findings had
indeed captured the primary
themes and issues articulated by the women. The sharing of
initial findings further led to
an animated discussion about follow-up actions that could use
the study results to help
influence policy, to promote physician and public education,
and so forth. But the women
also expressed concern that one of the smaller findings could do
harm to the community
should it become public, particularly if it came to the attention
of the conservative state
governor. Although many academicians argue that scientists
have a duty to make all of
their findings public, the value base underlying CBPR suggests
that our primary respon-
sibility is to the community.6,13 The outside members of the
research team therefore
agreed that this particular finding would not be published.37
As academics, we were fortunate that the finding in question
was a relatively minor
one. But suppose a major study result emerges that the
community then wishes to sup-
press? To avoid such difficult situations, many CBPR projects
now use formal or informal
research protocols and memorandums of understanding3,52,53
to decide in advance how
these and other issues will be handled. In other cases, informal
understandings may be
worked out early in the process, for example, with the
community agreeing to the publica-
tion of results even if they do not support the position that that
28. community or agency part-
ner hopes will be strengthened through the study findings.54
Whether through formal
written documents or informal dialogue, however, the
importance of grappling with such
issues in the earliest stages of a CBPR project cannot be
overstressed and relates to the
principles of both building and maintaining a good working
relationship between profes-
sionals and community participants and carefully attending to
the potential side effects of
the research enterprise.7,9
A final set of ethical challenges and dilemmas involve the
action component of CBPR
projects, which may take a wide variety of forms. Kelly’s7
emphasis on thinking about
potential policy impacts even before a research project begins
underscores his conviction
that to affect the lives of large numbers of people, change on
this level may be critical and
should be a stated aim of participatory research endeavors. In
some instances, however,
community participants’ desires for action may be limited to
securing small, individual-
level changes.47 For the outside researcher, an ethical dilemma
may therefore involve the
tension between respecting community wishes and pushing for
the higher-level social
change that some consider a defining feature of CBPR.13
Such a dilemma emerged in the course of the Language of Light
project, a photovoice
project that included three outside cofacilitators and a diverse
group of homeless shelter
residents in Ann Arbor, Michigan.47 Consistent with Kelly’s7,8
29. ecological principles, an
emphasis was placed on identifying and building on human
resources and on high-level
Minkler / Ethical Challenges 693

community involvement, with the shelter residents taking part
in three 4-hour workshops
in which they discussed issues of picture taking, ethics, and
power in relation to the new
skill they were developing and participated in guided photo
shoots. The photovoice
method, in which participants are trained in taking pictures to
capture their reality and
then use the images to dialogue with each other about common
themes and look for root
causes, ideally also includes the sharing of photos with policy
makers and others as a
means of affecting broader level change. Although the homeless
participants in the Lan-
guage of Light project were eager to share their photos,
however, and proud of the fact
that several hundred people, including policy makers, attended
the showing of their
photos at a local theater, they were not interested in using this
or other venues to press
for policy-level change, even in the face of a looming new
threat to their shelter location.47
Rather, and while the potential benefits of their growing sense
30. of political efficacy55 was
noted by the outside partners, the participants’ priorities
continued to rest with individual-
level quality-of-life issues. In this situation, rather than pushing
for a more ambitious,
policy-focused change agenda, the outside researchers played an
important role by step-
ping back to honor the community’s desires to pursue far more
limited change objectives.
Kelly7 and Israel et al.’s3 reminder of CBPR’s commitment to
individual as well as com-
munity capacity building indeed reinforces the need for not
discounting the importance
of microlevel change outcomes in this process.
Numerous other ethical issues may arise in the action phase of
CBPR, among them
risks to community participants and to outsider researchers,
particularly when they tackle
topics that involve crossing powerful entrenched interests.51
Echoing Kelly’s30 early
admonition, Farquhar and Wing51 (p. 238) point out that “no
research question, method or
result can be separated from its social context,” and as a
consequence, both outside
researchers and community participants must be prepared for
the sometimes difficult
consequences that this may entail. Developing early on a team
or subgroup of outside
researchers and community members to study and monitor
potential side effects of
research participation is one means advocated by Kelly8 for
exploring and attending to
such unplanned consequences. Whatever specific method is
chosen, however, working
with participants to track both positive and negative outcomes
31. of participation in the
research and working collaboratively to avoid or ameliorate
adverse effects constitute key
components of an ecological and ethically sound approach to
CBPR.
CONCLUSION
CBPR frequently involves thorny ethical challenges for outside
researchers and their
community partners. Yet despite such challenges and obstacles,
CBPR provides an
approach to research that shows increasing promise as we
attempt to address many of
today’s most intractable health and social problems.6 By
involving and building on the
strengths of multiple stakeholders in the research process,
CBPR offers the opportunity to
achieve what physician Roz Lasker and her colleagues at the
New York Academy of
Medicine56 term “partnership synergy,” tackling difficult issues
more effectively than any
one partner could do alone.
Outside researchers interested in engaging with communities in
CBPR should facili-
tate continued dialogue among all partners concerning the many
ethical challenges that
arise in such work. Memorandums of understanding and the
early setting of formal or
informal ground rules are among the mechanisms that usefully
may be employed to help
prevent or successfully resolve difficult issues as they arise.
Workshops in which commu-
694 Health Education & Behavior (December 2004)

nity and academic partners share their views of what constitutes
meaningful and “valid”
research also may be helpful in fostering dialogue and
colearning.
Finally, CBPR partners may benefit from using the detailed set
of guidelines and crite-
ria developed by Green and his colleagues11 at the University
of British Columbia for
assessing the goodness of fit between CBPR projects and the
principles of participatory
research (www.ihpr.ubc.ca/guidelines.html). The 24 guidelines
are grouped under six
headings: participants and the nature of their involvement,
origin of the research ques-
tion, purpose of the research, process and context—
methodological implications, oppor-
tunities to address the issue of interest, and nature of the
research outcomes. A range of
scaled question items is included under each heading, among
them are the following.
• Did the impetus for the research come from the community?
• Is attention given to barriers to participation, with
consideration of those who have been
underrepresented in the past?
• Can the research facilitate collaboration between community
participants and resources
33. external to the community?
• Do community participants benefit from the research
outcomes?
• Is there attention to, or an explicit agreement between,
researchers and community partici-
pants with respect to ownership and dissemination of the
research findings?
Using these and related questions as the basis of dialogue may
help outside researchers
and their community partners navigate the difficult terrain of
CBPR while attempting to
address some of the ethical issues that often are inherent in this
challenging but highly
promising approach to community-based research and practice.
