Methodological Reflections of a Student- and Community-based Partnership on Operationalizing a Community-based Participatory Research Model: Recommendations for Building, Securing, and Sustaining Partnerships.

Background: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an approach that values community expertise and ownership in creating knowledge. This approach's success is challenged by inherent cultural imbalances, making it difficult to sustain partnerships and build from what has been learned from a project as it develops. As student researchers and community members, we reflected on the challenges in CBPR and gave guidance to future novice researchers pursuing CBPR.
