Chap 3: Critical Issues in Developing CBPR Principles Flashcards
(24 cards)
What are some important questions to help guide CBPR efforts?
Important questions for CBPR include 1) What is the purpose of research? 2) Who benefits from research? 3) How are the results of research used? 4) How can research contribute to reducing inequities? 5) What role does research play in community change and knowledge generation?
True or False: CBPR principles should be adapted the same way in each context.
Recognizing each setting and research partnership is unique, local issues need to be considered when adapting CBPR principles.
What does recognizing community as a unit of identity mean?
Principle One: CBPR recognizes community as a unit of (collective and individual) identity where identities are socially constructed and community is characterized by emotional connection common symbol systems, shared values and norms, mutual influence, collective interests and commitment to meeting shared needs.
What makes up a community?
Community may exist within geographical boundaries or made up of members of a group with commonalities.
True or False: CBPR attempts to change communities of identity.
CBPR attempts to work with existing communities of identity and strengthen a sense of community through collective engagement.
Which principle primarily represents a “strengths and asset” (versus deficit) approach?
Principle Two: CBPR builds on strengths and resources within the community to address members shared concerns.
What are some examples of community strengths and resources?
Community strengths and resources may include individual skills and assets, networks of relationships characterized by trust, cooperation, and mutual commitment, and mediating structures where members come together.
True or False: CBPR seeks to support social structures that help community members solve issues.
CBPR recognizes and seeks to support or expand social structures that contribute to the ability of community members to work together to solve issues.
How does CBPR faciliate collaborative and equitable partnerships in the third principle?
Principle Three: CBRP facilitates collaborative, equitable partnership in all research phases and involves an empowering and power-sharing process that attends to social inequalities.
What phases of the research process do all parties participate in and share control (as desired)?
All parties participate in and share control (as desired) over all phases of the research process including problem definition, data collection and interpretation, and application of results.
What is one way CBPR addresses inequalities in power in the research process?
Addressing inequalities in power involve explicit attention to knowledge and expertise of community members and an emphasis on empowerment processes.
What are some ways that CBPR promotes co-learning and capacity building among all partners?
Principle Four: CBRP promotes co-learning and capacity building among all partners. A co-learning process facilitates the reciprocal transfer of knowlege, skills, and capacity enhancing capacity of all partners, improving the effectiveness of the CBPR effort, and increasing capacity that can be applied to other endeavors.
True or False: Research is more important than taking action in CBPR.
Principle Five: CBPR integrates and achieves a balance between research and action for the mutual benefits of all partners.
True of False: CBPR seeks to use knowledge generated to support community and social change efforts.
CBRP seeks to build a body of knowledge while using knowledge generated to support community and social change efforts. CBPR incorporates a commitment to the translation and integration of research results with community change efforts.
Why is it important to incorporate an ecolological perspective in CBPR?
Principle Six: CBPR emphasizes public health problems of local relevance and ecological perspectives that attend to the multiple determinants of health.
What are the different ecological dimensions CBPR considers?
CBPR considers the individual, their immediate contexts (family, social network) and larger social spheres in which they are embedded and recognize different factors as determinants of health.
How does CBPR involve systems development?
Principle Seven: CBPR involves systems development through a cyclical and iterative process.
What is important when thinking about disseminating findings in CBPR?
Principle Eight: CBPR disseminates findings and knowlege gained to all partners and involves all partners in the dissemination process.
How is language important in dissemination?
Findings are disseminated in a langauge that is understandable and respectful and where ownership of knowledge is acknoweldged.
True of False: CBPR is a short-term commitment and process.
Principle Nine: CBPR requires a long-term process and commitment to sustainability
How is CBPR a long-term process and commitment to sustainability?
CBPR maintains a commitment beyond a single research project or period of funding and include a willingness to continue the partnership.
What does CBPR embrace as it addresses issues of race, ethnicity, racism, and social class?
Principle Ten: CBPR addresses issues of race, ethnicity, racism, and social class and embraces “cultural humility”
What is cultural humility from a CBPR perspective?
CBPR partnerships may involve community partners and members from historically marginalized groups and “outsider” researchers and other partners from more privilieged backgrounds. CBPR embrases “cultural humility” as a commitment to self-critique and self-reflection, examining one’s own racism and classicm, addressing power imbalances, and establishing and maintaining authentic relationships.
Why is critical reflection about racism, classism, sexism and other isms important in CBPR?
CBPR partnerships also encompass critical reflection regarding ways that racism, classism, sexism, and other isms operate to delegitimize community knowledge.
