以社区为基础的研究(CBR)已成为理解和消除美国境内和整个地球仪的健康差距的核心。作者试图确定卫生专业教师的角度对影响他们参与社区康复的因素和社区参与该研究的程度。来自美国18所卫生专业学校的教师完成了一项书面调查,这些学校的院长认为他们是CBR的领导者。受访者报告说,他们学校的教师中有5-10%参与了CBR。公众对大学的看法、对社区组织领导人的熟悉程度和机构领导被认为是学校参与社区康复的最重要因素。长期的社区关系,承认在任期和晋升政策和获得资金被列为支持教师进行CBR的因素。作者的结论是,公共和私人资金的更重要的投资,为社区伙伴关系发展跨学科的体制结构和更包容的奖学金定义是必要的,以实现CBR在努力理解和消除健康差距的核心作用。
Community-based research (CBR) has become central to the understanding and elimination of health disparities within the USA and across the globe. The authors sought to determine the perspectives of health professional faculty on the factors affecting their involvement in CBR and the extent of community participation in that research. Faculty from 18 health professional schools in the USA identified by their deans as being leaders in CBR completed a written survey. Respondents reported that between 5-10% of faculty in their schools were involved in CBR. Public perception of the university, familiarity with community-based organization leaders and institutional leadership were cited as the most significant factors contributing to a school's involvement in CBR. Long-term community relationships, recognition in tenure and promotion policies and access to funding were cited as factors that support faculty in conducting CBR. The authors conclude that a more significant investment of public and private funds, the development of interdisciplinary institutional structures for community partnerships and a more inclusive definition of scholarship are needed to achieve a central role for CBR in efforts to understand and eliminate health disparities.
