研究中的社区合作可能会带来更好的方法、结果和干预措施的传播。很少有系统的研究考察了影响社区组织 (CBO) 在公共卫生研究中合作的具体因素。迫切需要增进有关该主题的知识，以便研究人员和社区组织共同努力最大限度地减少合作障碍。这项研究推进了以 CBO 为中心的艾滋病毒预防研究合作特征。通过关注 10 个艾滋病预防 CBO 中 20 名关键知情人的观点，定性数据揭示了影响其在四个领域合作的因素：(a) 研究人员的特征（专业知识、可用性），(b) 合作研究特征（应改善服务和 CBO 基础设施）； (c) 社区合作伙伴-研究人员关系（解决社会和专业问题）； (d) 艾滋病毒预防研究合作的障碍（国会预算办公室和学术界之间的文化和社会脱节）。为了减少障碍，研究人员应该增强促进合作的动力。为了利用基于社区的研究的优势，预防科学家和政策制定者应该接受社区组织关于健康研究真正协作的特征。
Community collaboration in research may lead to better methods, results, and dissemination of interventions. Little systematic research has examined specific factors that influence community-based organizations (CBOs) to collaborate in public health research. There is an urgent need to advance knowledge on this topic so that together, researchers and CBOs can minimize barriers to collaboration. This study advances a CBO-focused characterization of collaboration in HIV-prevention research. By focusing on the perspectives of 20 key informants in 10 HIV-prevention CBOs, qualitative data revealed factors that influenced their collaborations in four domains: ( a) Researchers' Characteristics ( expertise, availability), (b) Collaborative Research Characteristics ( ought to improve services and CBO infrastructure); ( c) Community Partner-Researcher Relationships ( resolving social and professional issues); and (d) Barriers to HIV-Prevention Research Collaboration ( cultural and social disconnect between CBO and academia). To reduce barriers, researchers ought to enhance motivators that facilitate collaboration. To use the advantages of community-based research, prevention scientists and policy makers ought to embrace CBOs' characterization of what makes health research genuinely collaborative.
