• Identify and discuss the characteristics of community-based participatory research.
• Discuss the ways in which community-based participatory research differs from the traditional research approach.

Answer 1

** Effective communication is important for focusing health problem within the target community..Effective comprehensive programs can focus on policy changes,environmental changes and community cooperation..It is important to understand the charecteristics of target population ..we need to use different strategies..public health programs change the behaviour of target population..it will have some goal to adopt the population based on our intervention..In case of HIV infection among target population like sub-saharan African they are high risk population affecting mostly by heterosexual transmission and new infection..So when we focus on targeting these community preventing this infection by high risk peer - based approach will be effective,it will help to identify the sociocultural identity and helps to findout their adoptive behaviour..so we can easily focus our intervention towards peer group behaviour change intervention..strategy for diffusion of the behavioural intervention helps to spread message among each indiviual....Evidence based process and intervention can change their behaviour and shows successful adoption in individual risk reduction..
** Health promotion strategies and its process make benefits for individual with their personnal, social,economic needs and it protect and promote their health and make changes within the community individual behaviour and life style.. This can produce conflicts within the sector group and increase trust within the population..it includes concern on access,use and distribution of resources and each individual practice can promote health..Health professional knowledge and skills make advocacy for health..Health promotion strategies include to build public health policy,supportive environment,community action, personal skills and knowledge and health services..
** Community based participatory research(CBPR) for community participation make research with in the target population..The national goal for eliminating health disparities with in racial and ethnic group..Knowledge and best practices neccessary to approach and address health disparities..so new research and models need for addressing their needs within minority population..CBPR provide traditional research approach by involvement of members of target population and make them to participate for this research..It can make changes and reduce the health disparities..CBRP focus only on social,structural,physical needs inequities by active involvement of community members,representatives,researchers for this research process..it make innovative adoption and provide knowledge and perception through its collaborative nature we can identify each cultures and make relationship which increase their trust on research..
**Traditional approach have collaboration with community approach when focus on tradional approach for community based research it needs involvement from organization for assessment, data collection ,implementation and evaluation from this, but in CBPR it is everyone responsibility for this process..community based participatory research with in community includes community members and researchers..in traditional research approach completely based on researcher who is responsible for plans,research and analysis in involves the results to the acedemic community..
