Community Engaged Research
CDC, 1997; NIH, 2011 Definitions
• The process of working collaboratively with and through
groups of people affiliated by geographic proximity, special
interest, or similar situations to address issues affecting the
well-being of those people.
• It is a powerful vehicle for bringing about environmental and
behavioral changes that will improve the health of the
community and its members.
•
It often involves partnerships and coalitions that help mobilize
resources and influence systems, change relationships among
partners, and serve as catalysts for changing policies,
programs, and practices
