Kinship Rising is an Indigenous community partnership project that offers urgently needed action research led by Indigenous youth and communities impacted by colonial histories of gendered and sexualized violence. Working with hundreds of Indigenous youth, practitioners, Elders, and knowledge keepers across diverse rural and urban Indigenous communities in western Canada, our project engages land- and arts-based practices, intergenerational mentoring, and community leadership to recenter Indigenous knowledges of gender and sexual wellbeing and sovereignty.

A significant challenge to community-based participatory research (CBPR) is establishing sustainable change as research projects and funding end. Building capacity among community members is one mechanism through which CBPR interventions can be made sustainable. This paper provides a case study reflecting on the development of two Latina community groups in two distinct neighborhoods located in suburban Charlotte, North Carolina, one of the country’s emerging 21st century immigrant gateways. Analyzing our process through the lens of four community group development stages, we critically explore our efforts to build capacity and ensure sustainability. We also assess how community members may or may not become ‘empowered’ through CBPR interventions to continue the efforts once the research ends. By identifying both the successes and failures of our work, we aim to provide a series of guidelines that other CBPR teams might adopt as they work to build capacity among similarly vulnerable populations and construct sustainable interventions at the neighborhood scale.

This paper examines how five Tribal communities and an academic institution developed the Helping Our Native Ongoing Recovery Project. The goal of this study was to conduct a large randomized controlled trial using contingency management as an intervention for alcohol use disorders among 400 American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. Using a community-engaged approach, including tenants of community-based participatory research and the Quality Implementation Framework, close collaboration between Tribal community and academic partners was essential to the research design and implementation. The process described has enhanced trust, positive relationships, and the successful cultural adaptation and implementation of the contingency management intervention with two of the five partnering communities. This work may provide insight for dissemination and implementation science among AI/AN communities and a process template for researchers who want to partner with Tribal communities to positively impact health outcomes.

This article describes a four-phased action research project that emerged over a six-year period, eventually leading to a $600,000 investment by local government in a new neighborhood park. We demonstrate, through our community-university partnership, how we built on each phase of action research initially by establishing and developing relationships, increasing participation levels in the neighborhood organization and neighborhood sponsored events, and building long-term participation, which enabled the establishment of a collective vision. This ultimately led to increased social capital and strengthened local power through political voice. We argue that by connecting four phases of action research, we were able to achieve significant community change in partnership with local neighborhood residents and that this form of a long-term and multi-based approach can address some of the common challenges inherent to community-university partnerships.

The purpose of this study was to engage rural communities across West Virginia (WV) as stakeholders in the research process, thereby enhancing shared trust, understanding, and interest in research participation and partnership. In collaboration with the WV Practice-Based Research Network and Mountains of Hope Cancer Coalition, a statewide team of the Community Engagement and Outreach Core of the WV Clinical and Translational Science Institute traveled throughout rural WV in 2018, to facilitate community focus groups. The purpose of these focus groups was to gain in-depth insights into the perceptions, concerns, and priorities that West Virginians have about health and research. The information collected in these focus groups guided the development of community-tailored curriculum and policy briefs to better engage and equip rural residents and researchers as partners moving forward. This research demonstrates that community-centered organizations and academic institutions can learn and build upon community strengths and expertise to engage a skeptical citizenry, address misunderstandings, and cultivate collaborative research capacity that addresses local health issues and priorities.

Single Black mothers face the highest risk of eviction in the United States. In North Minneapolis, a community manufactured to contain undesirable populations through housing discrimination, decades of urban disinvestment, and unfair lending practices, the situation has become further exacerbated by the rise in distressed-property investment and disproportionate rates of eviction. This community-engaged action research project engages with tenants and landlords to illuminate how and why evictions occur in North Minneapolis, MN. The approach disrupts the power imbalance that exists between researchers, local power brokers, and community-based organizations to produce research findings that both value people’s lived experiences and utilize those experiences to produce community-centered public policy solutions. Community-centered policy solutions include lengthening the formal eviction process, creating a more human-centered process for financial support, and disrupting a cycle of dependency that is often reinforced by the state.

Background: Government policies have led to an increase in modern contraception use. Rural indigenous populations in countries like Ecuador, however, have relatively lower rates of utilization. Our objectives were to work with the community to identify perceived barriers for contraception use and determine solutions for an indigenous Ecuadorian community. Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive study design based on participatory research principles, focus groups and individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with women in the community as well as semi-structured interviews with physicians working at the regional hospital. All sessions were taped, transcribed, translated and analyzed using descriptive thematic analysis. Results: Women had basic knowledge about contraception, but also had many fears related to false beliefs about side effects. Women using modern contraception spoke of difficulties getting to a doctor to get a prescription. They had a relationship of trust with their partners although men were perceived to have preponderant decisional powers. Physicians suggested creating a mobile team to provide information about maternal health and to distribute contraceptives directly in the communities. Conclusions: There is need for rural communities to have better information and access to contraception. While the Ecuador national contraception policy has made an impact, several practical barriers prevented optimal implementation.
