CBPR is a collaborative approach that brings community members into every stage of the research process, defining aims and objectives, shaping design, collecting and analyzing data, and co-creating outputs. Rooted in principles of co-learning, shared decision-making, mutual benefit, and action-oriented methods, CBPR ensures that research not only produces knowledge but also drives meaningful social change.
