This course examines Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) as an approach to research to understand and address health inequities at the community level. Through class discussions and assignments, students become familiar with the approach, developing methodology, and the ethical and professional challenges posed by CBPR. Students have the opportunity to critique published CBPR studies, and propose and present a CBPR plan for a health inequity within a community. This course prepares students to conduct meaningful, equitable research within communities characterized by health inequities.
