While perhaps not meeting the classical definition of CBPR, some PBRNs are involving community members and patients in their research, and it is believed that community involvement will enhance PBRN research.
Abstract
While perhaps not meeting the classical definition of CBPR, some PBRNs are involving community members and patients in their research. There is a wide spectrum of involvement by community members in PBRN research. Many PBRNs reported plans to involve community members in their research. We believe that community involvement will enhance PBRN research.
