Rural maternal health interventions
Public communication and outreach by mosquito programs in the United States
Blood feeding female mosquitoes cause itchy welts and can transmit pathogens that cause diseases such as chikungunya, malaria, West Nile encephalitis, and Zika. Mosquito control programs conduct mosquito, pathogen, and epidemiological surveillance, carry out source reduction, treat mosquito habitats with larvicides or adulticides, and disseminate information to the public. Here, 100 organizations (e.g., private/public mosquito control programs, n…
Enriching the evidence base of co-creation research in public health with methodological principles of critical realism
With the popularity of co-creation research in public health and other fields, there is a need to strengthen its evidence-base by developing a framework based on meta-theoretical principles. The lack of applying meta-theoretical principles in co-creation research impedes the theory-and evidence building. Critical realism seems a promising candidate for providing meta-theoretical principles to enrich the evidence base of co-creation research in pu…
Engaging African Americans Living with HIV and Serious Mental Illness
Background: African American individuals living with HIV (AALWH) and serious mental illness (SMI) represent a vulnerable intersectional group with relatively poor health. These individuals may require consistent treatment engagement to manage both of their chronic conditions; however, due to multilevel factors they are relatively less likely to engage in treatment consistently
Engaging African Americans Living with HIV and Serious Mental Illness
This study provides initial evidence for the feasibility of a CBPR-designed and tested, peer-led psychoeducation and behavioral intervention aiming to improve treatment engagement among AALWH and SMI, a marginalized group who could benefit from additional communitybased health research efforts
The leadership role of college deans and department chairs in academic culture change
Although it has been decades since gender inequality in academe was first highlighted, institutions around the world continue to struggle with how best to address the problem. Policies and procedures intended to increase women's representation appear to have had limited impact in many departments, especially those in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. Hence, current gender mainstreaming efforts must focus not only on explic…
Developing Measures of Community‐Relevant Outcomes for Violence Prevention Programs
Community‐Based Participatory Research is a research paradigm that encourages community participation in designing and implementing evaluation research, though the actual outcome measures usually reflect the “external” academic researchers’ view of program effect and the policy‐makers’ needs for decision‐making. This paper describes a replicable process by which existing standardized psychometric scales commonly used in youth‐related intervention…
Methods for Linking Community Views to Measureable Outcomes in a Youth Violence Prevention Program
We applied rigorous action steps to match community-defined indicators to survey data collected in the youth violence prevention intervention. We learned important lessons that inform recommendations for others interested in such endeavors. The process used to derive and assess community-defined indicators of success emphasized the principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR) and use of existing and available data to reduce partici…
The value of conducting door-to-door surveys
This paper argues that door-to-door surveys are a valuable tool for collecting information about health and the environment in urban areas in a manner consistent with community-based participatory research principles. We describe in detail how a door-to-door survey on food shopping and physical activity was conducted with the primary food shopper in 514 households on 30 randomly selected blocks in West and Southwest Philadelphia over seven weeks …

Using Community-Based Participatory Research to Develop the PARTNERS Youth Violence Prevention Program
Despite several challenges inherent to CBPR, the current study provides a number of lessons learned for the continued development of relationships and trust among researchers and community members, with particular attention to balancing the demand for systematic implementation of community-based interventions while being responsive to the immediate needs of the community
Youth's strategies for staying safe and coping
Youth living in urban environments of pervasive violence are exposed to a variety of violence‐related stressors. This qualitative descriptive study sought to ascertain how community‐dwelling youth perceived exposure to violence and how these youth identified and used available resources. The intent of this community‐based participatory research study was to help inform the design of a youth violence prevention center intervention. Semistructured …
