背景：尽管社区参与研究(Cenr)在文献中得到越来越多的推广，但学术项目往往不能使研究人员为社区参与研究中涉及的关键、伦理和权力问题做好准备。本文记录了一个由社区创建并领导的社区参与研究人员研讨会。目的：该研讨会的主要目的是增加研究人员对社区参与中心在三个研究领域的“应该做和不应该做”的知识和感受：进入社区，适应社区组织的现实和限制，以及传播。方法：社区参与的应该做和不应该做的研讨会是由阿肯色州预防研究中心(PRC)社区咨询委员会(CAB)与阿肯色大学(UAMS)费伊·W·博兹曼公共卫生学院(COPH)的教职员工合作开发和实施的。CAB利用以大众教育为基础的合作、迭代过程开发了研讨会。教学方法包括视频表彰，反向角色扮演场景，以及小组反思和汇报。实施包括与CAB成员的演练，一次试点，与UAMS教师的五次研讨会，传播到一所州外的大学，以及对参与者的评估后调查。结论：参与者的书面评估表明研讨会很有吸引力，并成功地激励研究人员采用新的视角，承认跨领域的权力失衡，自我反思他们作为研究人员的角色，并考虑解决这些问题的方案。其他报告的成果包括发展了导致新的CENR项目的关系，社区成员经历了意想不到的学习，通过UAMS的翻译研究所请求举办更多的讲习班，并编制了培训员培训手册和附带的视频指南。
Background: Although community-engaged research (CEnR) is increasingly promoted in the literature, academic programs often fail to prepare researchers for the critical, ethical, and power issues involved in CEnR. This article documents a community-created and led workshop for CEnR researchers.Objectives: The workshop's main objective is to increase researchers' knowledge and felt experience of the "dos and don'ts" of CEnR in three research domains: entering the community, accommodating the realities and constraints of community-based organizations, and dissemination.Methods: The Dos and Don'ts of Community Engagement workshop was developed and implemented by the Arkansas Prevention Research Center's (PRC) Community Advisory Board (CAB) in partnership with faculty and staff from the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health (COPH) at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). The CAB developed the workshop using a collaborative, iterative process grounded in popular education. Teaching approaches include video testimonials, reverse role-play scenarios, and group reflections and debriefings. Implementation included dry runs with CAB members, a pilot, and five workshops with UAMS faculty, dissemination to an out-of-state university, and post-assessment surveys of participants.Conclusions: Participants' written evaluations suggest the workshop was engaging and successfully motivated researchers to adopt new perspectives, acknowledge power imbalances across the domains, self-reflect about their role as researchers, and consider solutions to these problems. Other reported outcomes included the development of relationships leading to new CEnR projects, unanticipated learning experienced by community member participants, requests for additional workshops through UAMS' Translational Research Institute, and development of a train-the-trainer manual and accompanying video guide.
