 A Community-Based Participatory Research Curriculum for General Pediatrics
Fellows - developed and implemented by CCPH Fellow Darius Tandon. Twelve
General Academic Pediatrics Fellows in the Johns Hopkins University School
of Medicine received this eight-hour curriculum during the 2002-2003
academic year.

 A Community-Based Participatory Research Curriculum - also developed by
CCPH Fellow Darius Tandon, this "abridged" two-hour version of thecurriculum
was created with the recognition that many academic departmentsand training
programs within Schools of Medicine may be interested in CBPR, but have
limited time in which to learn about CBPR. Having a shorter curriculum,
therefore, may help promote wider understanding of CBPR among medical
educators and physicians. To view the abridged curriculum clickhere.

Darius is a Research Associate in the School of Medicine at The
Johns Hopkins University. He completed his Ph.D. in Community Psychology
 and Prevention Research in the University of Illinois at Chicago's
Department of Psychology where he was a National Institutes of Mental Health
fellow in Urban Children's Mental Health. Dr. Tandon's broad
research interests focus on the design and evaluation of community-based
preventive interventions in urban populations. Prior to his work in
 Baltimore, Dr. Tandon worked for six years on a CBPR project in Chicago
that aimed to promote the development and training of indigenous
community leaders to prevent substance abuse in a low-income
neighborhood. Stemming from this project, he has co-authored several
publications, including invited submissions in From Subjects to
Subjectivities: A Handbook of Interpretive and Participatory Methods and
Handbook of Action Research: Participative Inquiry and Practice.
