目标.我们试图确定一个以社区为基础的参与性研究伙伴关系的工作是否增加了城市环境中难以接触到的个人对流感疫苗接种的兴趣。研究人员和社区成员的伙伴关系开展了干预措施，以提高贫困城市社区对流感疫苗接种的接受程度，重点关注难以接触的人群（例如，药物滥用者、移民、老年人、性工作者和无家可归者）。活动针对个人、社区组织和邻里各级，包括在两个流感疫苗接种季节传播信息、在会议上发言以及提供街头和挨家挨户的疫苗接种。参与者通过多种方式招募。进行多变量分析以比较干预前后接受疫苗接种的兴趣。干预后接种流感疫苗的兴趣增加（P
Objectives. We sought to determine whether the work of a community-based participatory research partnership increased interest in influenza vaccination among hard-to-reach individuals in urban settings.Methods. A partnership of researchers and community members carried out interventions for increasing acceptance of influenza vaccination in disadvantaged urban neighborhoods, focusing on hard-to-reach populations (e.g., substance abusers, immigrants, elderly, sex workers, and homeless persons) in East Harlem and the Bronx in New York City. Activities targeted the individual, community organization, and neighborhood levels and included dissemination of information, presentations at meetings, and provision of street-based and door-to-door vaccination during 2 influenza vaccine seasons. Participants were recruited via multiple modalities. Multivariable analyses were performed to compare interest in receiving vaccination pre- and postintervention.Results. There was increased interest in receiving the influenza vaccine postintervention (P
