HLSC 4910U – Community Based Research for Health


This course will acquaint students in the Health Sciences to the historical, theoretical and practical aspects of Community Based Research (CBR) and explore the challenges and advantages of engaging in CBR. The community based research approach uses principles of health promotion to engage communities in a collaborative process of research to equitably involve all partners in the research process. Key to CBR principles is the recognition of the unique strengths that each partner brings. CBR begins with a research topic of importance to the community with the aim of combining knowledge and action for social change to improve community health and eliminate health disparities.
