"I know what CBPR is, now what do i do?": Community perspectives on CBPR capacity building.
Prog Community Health Partnersh. 2013 Fall; 7(3):235-41.PC

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) offers a promising approach for combating health disparities. CBPR capacity must be developed among academics and communities. Most published CBPR capacity development work focuses on general guidance or individual partnership development.

OBJECTIVES

Herein we have reported community perspectives on community capacity-building efforts involving multiple community partners, including capacity-building outcomes and identification of facilitators and challenges.

METHODS

We have presented a case study using qualitative and quantitative data from community-based organization (CBO) members of a committee guiding a university-based CBPR initiative. A survey measuring 11 CBPR capacity domains was fielded at two points. Three rounds of interviews were conducted.

RESULTS

Community CBPR capacity increased over time, although there remains room for improvement. Leader commitment, CBPR resources, and hands-on CBPR experiences were identified as key facilitators. Resource limitations, difficulty integrating CBPR into organizational operations, lack of specific information, and institutional inequities were identified as challenges. Recommendations offered include continued and expanded support for sharing/co-learning with academic partners and capacity-building activities and services.

CONCLUSIONS

Results will inform future efforts and contribute to the understanding of capacity-building outcomes for initiatives supporting multiple CBPR partnerships.
