本期特刊的目的是探讨研究人员、评估人员和从业者如何使用基于社区的参与性研究 (CBPR) 方法来预防基于性别的暴力、支持幸存者以及改造社区和系统。在本引言中，编辑们定义了基于性别的暴力 (GBV)，并简要讨论了系统性不平等如何加剧 GBV 的流行。本期特刊的作者旨在通过研究方法消除这些不平等，这些方法以受社会问题影响最大的人为中心，确保社区成员指导研究过程，建设社区能力，并致力于改变压迫条件。本期包括美国各地的六项实证研究，涵盖了进行变革性 CBPR 的过程和结果。它还包含来自 GBV 成人从业者和年轻人的六篇评论，他们就他们与学术研究人员合作和/或参与参与性研究的经历提供了中肯的见解。本期特刊的文章涵盖了定义社区、在不平等条件下工作以及改变个人和社区的主要主题。
The purpose of this special issue is to explore how researchers, evaluators, and practitioners use community-based, participatory research (CBPR) approaches to prevent gender-based violence, support survivors, and transform communities and systems. In this introduction, the editors define gender-based violence (GBV) and briefly discuss how systemic inequities exacerbate the prevalence of GBV. The authors featured in this special issue aim to dismantle these inequities by engaging in research approaches that center those who are most impacted by the social issue, ensure that community members guide the research process, build community capacity, and aim to transform oppressive conditions. The issue includes six empirical studies across the United States that cover the process and outcomes of conducting transformative CBPR. It also contains six commentaries from GBV adult practitioners and young people who provide pertinent insights on their experiences working with academic researchers and/or engaging in participatory research. The articles in this special issue cover the major themes of defining community, working in inequitable conditions, and transforming individuals and communities.
