AHRQ Activities Using Community-Based Participatory Research to Address Health Care Disparities
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an approach to health and environmental research meant to increase the value of studies for both researchers and the communities participating in a study. The CBPR approach is particularly attractive for academics and public health professionals struggling to address the persistent problems of health care disparities in priority populations (including racial and ethnic minorities; low-income, rural, and inner-city populations; women; and children).
