基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）强调赋权、个人和社区能力建设以及将研究成果转化为行动，在城市移民人口的工作中可能特别有利。本文重点介绍了 CBPR 已被证明能够为城市服务欠缺社区增加价值的八种方式。然后介绍了生态 CBPR 项目（在加利福尼亚州旧金山进行的唐人街餐馆工人健康与安全研究）的背景、背景和方法，并利用研究过程和结果来说明所确定的八个领域中的每一个领域。简要描述了使用 CBPR 的挑战，特别是针对城市移民人口的挑战，并再次利用唐人街研究提供说明性示例。我们讨论通过这项研究和其他研究获得的经验教训，以便对城市移民人口有效利用 CBPR。我们的结论是，尽管面临挑战，这种跨学科、社区合作和以行动为导向的探究方法可以对研究过程和结果做出重大贡献。
With its emphasis on empowerment, individual and community capacity building, and translating research findings into action, community-based participatory research (CBPR) may be particularly advantageous in work with urban immigrant populations. This paper highlights eight ways in which CBPR has been shown to add value to work with urban underserved communities. It then describes the background, context, and methods of an ecological CBPR project, the Chinatown Restaurant Worker Health and Safety Study, conducted in San Francisco, California, and draws on study processes and outcomes to illustrate each of the eight areas identified. Challenges of using CBPR, particularly with urban immigrant populations, briefly are described, drawing again on the Chinatown study to provide illustrative examples. We discuss lessons learned, through this and other studies, for the effective use of CBPR with urban immigrant populations. We conclude that despite its challenges, this transdisciplinary, community-partnered and action-oriented approach to inquiry can make substantial contributions to both the processes and the outcomes of the research.
