Question 1

Which of the following terms is not consistent with the other three?&#10;A) Community-based participatory research&#10;B) Community-based research&#10;C) Community norms research&#10;D) Community-level research

Accepted Answer

Community norms research focuses on understanding the norms within a community, while the other terms involve research conducted with or by the community.

Question 2

As a rule of thumb, you must follow at least four of the nine CBPR principles for the research to be considered rigorous.

Accepted Answer

The CBPR (Community-Based Participatory Research) principles are meant to be followed comprehensively to ensure the research is collaborative and equitable, not just a subset of them.

Question 3

A nominal group process is used in conjunction with:&#10;A) community empowerment.&#10;B) a community advisory board.&#10;C) the illness-wellness continuum.&#10;D) the promotion of a co-learning environment.

Accepted Answer

The nominal group process is often used with a community advisory board to gather input and prioritize issues or solutions collaboratively.

Question 4

A principle of CBPR involves its cyclical and iterative process. This means that the findings must be disseminated in a timely and highly sustainable manner.

Accepted Answer

The cyclical and iterative process of CBPR refers to the ongoing cycle of planning, action, and reflection, not specifically to the dissemination of findings.

Question 5

The concept of external validity is central to Chapter 4. This is true because:&#10;A) external validity is often difficult to build into designs based on CBPR.&#10;B) external validity is the central aspect of dissemination research.&#10;C) based on its tenets, CBPR ensures generally high degrees of external validity.&#10;D) based on its tenets, external validity optimizes the entire research process.

Accepted Answer

CBPR (Community-Based Participatory Research) involves collaboration with community members, which often leads to higher external validity as the findings are more likely to be applicable to real-world settings.

Question 6

A key advantage of using traditional research approaches, rather than CBPR, lies in the practices of surveillance, epidemiology, and biostatistics.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A key advantage of using traditional research...

Question 7

Which principle of CBPR requires a thorough working knowledge of the key players relative to the health of a community?&#10;A) Facilitating collaborative partnerships&#10;B) Gaining long-term commitments&#10;C) Addressing health from a wellness and ecological perspective

Accepted Answer

Facilitating collaborative partnerships requires understanding the key players in the community to effectively engage and work together towards improving community health.

Question 8

A coalition differs from a community advisory board in that the coalition:&#10;A) helps sponsor and support the research agenda.&#10;B) guides the research process.&#10;C) sets policy related to the research.

Accepted Answer

A coalition helps sponsor and support the research agenda, whereas a community advisory board typically guides the research process and may set policy related to the research.

Question 9

Which aspect of CBPR is not optional?&#10;A) Fair and equitable roles in collecting data&#10;B) Developing highly sustainable goals&#10;C) Forming a community advisory board&#10;D) Providing financial incentives for study volunteers

Accepted Answer

Forming a community advisory board is a fundamental aspect of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) to ensure community involvement and representation in the research process.

Question 10

The concept of consensus building is one that is best used with what is known as a blended approach to research.

Accepted Answer

Consensus building is often used in a blended approach to research, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods to gather diverse perspectives and reach agreement among stakeholders.
