Dear Comm-Org colleagues,

Announcing the publication of Methods in Community-Based Participatory 
Research
for Health Edited by Barbara A. Israel DrPH, Eugenia Eng DrPH, Amy J. 
Schulz
PhD, Edith A. Parker DrPH

Written by distinguished experts in the field, this book shows how 
researchers,
practitioners, and community partners can work together to establish and
maintain equitable partnerships using a community-based participatory 
research
(CBPR) approach to increase knowledge and improve health and well-being 
of the
communities involved. What distinguishes CBPR from other approaches to 
research
is the active engagement of all partners in the process. This book 
provides a
comprehensive and thorough presentation of CBPR study designs, specific 
data
collection and analysis methods, and innovative partnership structures and
process methods. This book informs students, practitioners, researchers, 
and
community members about methods and applications needed to conduct CBPR 
in the
widest range of research areas?including social determinants of health, 
health
disparities, health promotion, community interventions, disease management,
health services, and environmental health.
