Some of the methods included are: survey questionnaire, in-depth interview, focus group interview, ethnography, exposure assessment, and geographic information system mapping. This book brings together many of the leading scholars who are teaching and conducting CBPR in health and related fields to provide readers with strategies and lessons learned for how to apply different methods using a partnership approach. In addition to specific research methods, this book focuses on essentials for successful CBPR implementation, such as selecting research partners, group process and facilitation, developing conceptual models, and data feedback and interpretation. Ideal for both student and practitioner, the book is designed to quickly the novice up to speed. Each chapter describes the application of the method using a CBPR approach, with a case study of how the method has been applied. Another key feature of this book is the inclusion in the appendices of examples of concrete tools and measurement instruments that may be adapted by others involved in CBPR efforts (including in-depth interview protocol, partnership evaluation questionnaire).
