    Engaging communities in system-based participatory research.

    Note: Systems-based participatory research engages in research partnerships at the level of the health delivery system, including the clinicians and patients nested within a delivery system, as well as delivery system leaders and other stakeholders in the organization. Practice-based research networks traditionally focus on research engagement with individual clinicians and practices, some of which may be part of an organized delivery system, but others are not. Similarly, community-based participatory research initially developed as a form of research engagement directly with patients, community members, and community-based organizations, which may or may not be part of an organized clinical delivery system.

    System-Based Participatory Research in Health Care: An Approach for Sustainable Translational Research and Quality Improvement

    Julie A. Schmittdiel , and colleagues

    Background Translational research is the application of research findings to medical treatment or daily clinical practice. This essay proposes that translational research can be strengthened by applying principles of community-based participatory research, which emphasizes partnership between community members and researchers. Participatory research methods, such as engaging in collaborative partnerships, building on existing community strengths, investing in long-term relationships, and engaging in research as a cyclical, iterative process, increases the likelihood that research questions will be relevant, interventions will be sustainable, and research findings will be translated into systematic action.
