Abstract

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships strive to promote community capacity building and sustainability, yet initiatives often suffer when grants or relationships with academic partners end. To address these concerns, researchers hoping to develop truly sustainable CBPR partnerships should consider factors that promote the development of community capacity and, ultimately, independence. In this first-person account, using perspectives gathered from FAVOR, a Connecticut-based family-led advocacy organization and an academic researcher, we examine the practices and experiences of the members of a CBPR partnership focused on using community voice to inform changes in the state's children's behavioral health system of care. These practices ultimately led to FAVOR developing the necessary skills to assume full ownership of the community data-gathering initiative, ensuring that the initiative would be sustained. Through the perspectives of five FAVOR staff and an academic researcher, we describe the factors that contributed to the organization being able to develop the capacity to independently continue their community data-gathering initiative, including description of the training process and staff members' perspectives on training, autonomy, community value, and lessons learned. We use these stories and experiences to provide recommendations for other partnerships striving to promote capacity building and sustainability through community ownership of the research process.

“放弃你的麦克风”:在基于社区的参与性研究倡议中建设能力和可持续性。
基于社区的参与性研究伙伴关系努力促进社区能力建设和可持续性,但当赠款或与学术伙伴的关系结束时,倡议往往会受到影响。为了解决这些问题,希望发展真正可持续的CBPR伙伴关系的研究人员应该考虑促进社区能力发展并最终促进独立性的因素。在这篇第一人称报道中,我们利用来自康涅狄格州家庭主导的倡导组织FAVOR和一位学术研究人员的观点,研究了CBPR伙伴关系成员的做法和经验,该伙伴关系专注于利用社区声音为该州儿童行为健康护理系统的变化提供信息。这些做法最终使FAVOR发展了必要的技能,以充分掌握社区数据收集倡议,确保该倡议能够持续下去。通过五名FAVOR工作人员和一名学术研究人员的观点,我们描述了有助于组织发展独立继续其社区数据收集倡议的能力的因素,包括对培训过程的描述以及工作人员对培训、自主性、社区价值观和经验教训的看法。我们利用这些故事和经验为其他伙伴关系提供建议,这些伙伴关系致力于通过社区对研究过程的所有权来促进能力建设和可持续性。

期刊介绍: The American Journal of Community Psychology publishes original quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research; theoretical papers; empirical reviews; reports of innovative community programs or policies; and first person accounts of stakeholders involved in research, programs, or policy. The journal encourages submissions of innovative multi-level research and interventions, and encourages international submissions. The journal also encourages the submission of manuscripts concerned with underrepresented populations and issues of human diversity. The American Journal of Community Psychology publishes research, theory, and descriptions of innovative interventions on a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to: individual, family, peer, and community mental health, physical health, and substance use; risk and protective factors for health and well being; educational, legal, and work environment processes, policies, and opportunities; social ecological approaches, including the interplay of individual family, peer, institutional, neighborhood, and community processes; social welfare, social justice, and human rights; social problems and social change; program, system, and policy evaluations; and, understanding people within their social, cultural, economic, geographic, and historical contexts.
