背景技术背景：教育和培训建立社区的研究能力，并对健康成果的改善产生影响。结论：这份手稿描述了培训和教育的方法，以建立研究能力，利用社区为基础的参与性研究计划，为波多黎各人口服务，并确定障碍和克服它们的战略。一项过程评价确定了一种多层次的培训和教育方法，这种方法对接触广大社区至关重要。网络、方法培训、在职经验和社区教育。利用这些机会支持了登记册的编制、调查的实施和两份出版的手稿。障碍包括缺乏对教育和培训组成部分的正式评价、限制波多黎各人以外族裔群体参与的语言挑战，以及与数据收集者和参与者的熟悉程度有关的潜在偏见。CBPR过程促进了大学与社区之间的关系发展，并将社区经验的丰富性纳入研究设计。改进策略包括将评估纳入每一个培训和教育机会，并制定措施，以量化研究能力在个人和社区levels.CONCLUSIONS：评估培训和教育在社区允许研究人员量化CBPR建设社区研究能力的影响。
BACKGROUND: Education and training build community research capacity and have impact on improvements of health outcomes.OBJECTIVES: This manuscript describes the training and educational approaches to building research capacity that were utilized in a community-based participatory research program serving a Puerto Rican population and identifies barriers and strategies for overcoming them.METHODS: A process evaluation identified a multitiered approach to training and education that was critical to reaching the broad community.RESULTS: This approach included four major categories providing a continuum of education and training opportunities: networking, methods training, on-the-job experience, and community education. Participation in these opportunities supported the development of a registry, the implementation of a survey, and two published manuscripts. Barriers included the lack of a formal evaluation of the education and training components, language challenges that limited involvement of ethnic groups other than Puerto Ricans, and potential biases associated with the familiarity of the data collector and the participant. The CBPR process facilitated relationship development between the university and the community and incorporated the richness of the community experience into research design. Strategies for improvement include incorporating evaluation into every training and educational opportunity and developing measures to quantify research capacity at the individual and community levels.CONCLUSIONS: Evaluating training and education in the community allows researchers to quantify the impact of CBPR on building community research capacity.
