Power through Partnerships: A Community-Based Participatory Research Toolkit for Domestic Violence Researchers

A growing number of intimate partner violence (IPV) researchers have embraced community-based participatory research (CBPR), an approach in which researchers and community members share power at every level of the research process and co-create knowledge and resources that can be used by the communities themselves. However, there are insufficient opportunities for IPV researchers to learn how to engage with communities through CBPR; and even well-intentioned researchers can develop questions that are not relevant to community needs, employ methods that hurt community members, or disseminate findings in a way that are inaccessible to those most affected. This project lays out a set of principles and practices for developing, promoting, and disseminating future CBPR research.
