(2) CALL FOR PAPERS on Ethical Considerations in Community-Based Participatory
Research for SPECIAL ISSUE of the Journal of Empirical Research on Human
Research Ethics - November 1 Deadline
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is characterized by authentic
partnerships, meaningful community engagement, and community capacity building
that combine knowledge with action to achieve social change. These features of
CBPR raise ethical issues that differ from those encountered in traditional
human research. We are inviting papers which explore these ethical issues,
including from international perspectives. Contributions may include
qualitative or quantitative studies (including case studies and those involving
CBPR) and reviews of empirical literature.
Examples of possible topics include, but are not limited to:
*Ethical concerns encountered in CBPR and how these are addressed by CBPR teams
and/or research ethics committees (RECs)
*Models for characterizing ethical concerns encountered in CBPR and/or for
evaluating outcomes of alternate approaches to addressing these concerns.
*Approaches for increasing understanding of CBPR among RECs.
*Models of community ownership and control over data collection, interpretation
and/or dissemination.
*Community-based mechanisms for research ethics review, e.g., community
advisory boards, community-based research committees, community-based RECs.
This effort to contribute to a literature on evidence-based ethical problem
solving in CBPR grows out of a partnership established between Community-Campus
Partnerships for Health (CCPH) and the Tuskegee University National Center for
Bioethics in Research and Health Care (the Bioethics Center) to advance their
shared goal of meaningfully involving communities in decisions made about every
aspect of research. CCPH is a growing network of over 1,500 communities and
campuses across North America and increasingly the world that are collaborating
to promote health through service-learning, community-based participatory
research, broad-based coalitions and other partnership strategies. (See
http://www.ccph.info) The Bioethics Center was established in 1999 to promote
equity and justice in health and health care by conducting education and
training programs, fostering respectful community partnerships, advancing
interdisciplinary research, and advocating public policies that improve the
health and health care of all Americans, particularly the underserved. (See
