AAPCHO Community-Research Criteria Factsheet

In August 2012, AAPCHO and its partners developed a set of research criteria that community health centers (CHCs) and communities could use to evaluate their participation in research studies. The criteria is rooted in the model of research known as Community-Based Participatory Research, in which communities actively and equitably engage in the research process. The criteria was designed to ensure that research on target communities was relevant and directly beneficial to the community being studied.
