以社区为基础的参与性研究（CBPR）已发展成为卫生研究中流行的新范式。这种转变令人兴奋，但关于各种利益相关者如何受到影响，还有很多需要发现的地方。本文通过对CBPR案例研究（积极青年项目）的分析，运用批判性的社会科学视角来探讨谁从这些变化中受益。出现了两大类受益者：研究本身和伙伴利益相关者。但是，如果没有大量的人力资源投资，就无法获得这些好处，而且这些好处也不一定公平分配。参与成本包括大量的时间需求，额外的工作负担，对过程的失望，错过其他机会，冒着失去匿名的风险，以及失去控制。需要注意确保所有项目伙伴都能获得具体利益，并尽量减少成本。确定利益的另一种方式是考察为解决未来健康和社会问题而建立的社区能力。
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has evolved as a popular new paradigm in health research. This shift is exciting, yet there is still much to discover about how various stakeholders are affected. This article uses a critical social science perspective to explore who benefits from these changes through an analysis of a CBPR case study (The Positive Youth Project). Two major categories of beneficiaries emerged: the research itself and the partner-stakeholders. The benefits, however, were not gained without substantial human resource investment, nor were they necessarily equitably spread. Participation costs included heavy demands of time, an added burden of work, frustration with the process, missing other opportunities, risking loss of anonymity, and loss of control. Care needs to be taken to ensure that concrete benefits accrue for all project partners and costs are minimized. Another way of framing benefits is to look at the community capacities built to address future health and social issues.
