The Healthy Environments
Partnership uses a Community-Based Participatory Research
Process (Israel et al 1998)*. Partners are actively involved
in each step of the research process, including decisions about:
- study questions
- study design
- implementation
- analysis
- interpretation
- translation
All members of the Healthy
Environments Partnership have been actively involved in designing
this study through participation in one or more of the following:
-
Survey Subcommittee
-
Biomarker Subcommittee
-
Air Quality Monitoring
Subcommittee
-
Neighborhood Observation
Checklist
-
Community Outreach
Education Project (COEP) Plan
- Monthly Steering Committee Meetings
In addition, members of
the Partnership have worked in less formal groups on the sampling
design, the development of the Nutrition and Biomarker Feedback
Forms, and the design and implementation of the COEP plan.
Steering Committee members
continue to work together to interpret and disseminate study findings.
