Community participation in prevention research has emerged as an important resource for identifying and addressing HIV risk factors and populations that may be more susceptible to these risks. This paper focuses on the coalition at the Philadelphia site of Connect to Protect: Partnership for Youth Prevention Interventions (C2P), and the partnerships developed to work with an understudied subgroup of YMSM, the House and Ball Community (HBC).
