Clinical Educators Faculty Development Module (On-Demand)-Community-Based Research: A Practical and Manageable Approach

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Winston Price presents community-based participatory research (CBPR) as a practical approach to reducing health disparities and advancing health equity, especially in BIPOC communities. He defines health disparities as preventable differences in health outcomes linked to social, economic, environmental, and systemic disadvantage. Key problem areas include cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, maternal mortality, and infant mortality.<br /><br />Price explains that CBPR differs from traditional research by involving communities as equal partners from the start: identifying research questions, designing studies, recruiting participants, analyzing data, and sharing results. He emphasizes culturally and linguistically appropriate methods, trust-building, and ensuring that research benefits the community beyond the life of the study.<br /><br />He also discusses social determinants of health such as education, income, transportation, environment, and access to care, noting how disasters, hospital closures, and climate-related events can worsen inequities. The presentation highlights ethical concerns and historical abuses like Tuskegee, Henrietta Lacks, and the Guatemala studies, which continue to shape mistrust in research.<br /><br />The talk concludes that successful CBPR requires genuine collaboration, community leadership, equitable funding, capacity building, and transparent reporting to create lasting health improvements.
