SUMMARY:Community-Based Participatory Research and the Roles of Power\, Trust\, and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Registration (Space is Limited)Workshop Description:\nCommunity-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is a collaborative research approach where both the researcher and community share decision making and are equitably engaged through all phases of the process. The use of a CBPR approach supports the development of culturally responsive interventions that meet the needs of the community. Participants can expect to be introduced to CBPR\, its principles\, critical points in partnership development\, and common challenges that can occur throughout the process. More specifically\, the challenges of power dynamics\, trust\, and culture will be highlighted. Each session will also incorporate information about implementing and evaluating community programs. This workshop is inclusive for anyone interested in research and assessment. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nDefine CBPR within the scope of community engaged research\nIdentify where community participation occurs in the research and evaluation process\nDescribe how power dynamics occur in partnerships with community members\nEvaluate trust development characteristics for community-academic partnerships\nExplore how culture and different ways of knowing are embedded in the research process\n\nFeatured Speakers\nJulie Lucero\, PhD\, MPH\nAssociate Dean\, College of Health\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Health and Kinesiology\nUniversity of Utah \nJulie E.

Lucero has been involved with CBPR projects in collaboration with Native American/Indigenous\, Latino/Hispano\, young adult\, and LGBTQ+ communities. Much of Lucero’s research has contributed to advancing the science of community engaged research approaches.
