A 2015 landslide that killed three people in Sitka, Alaska, changed how residents looked at the steep hills all around them. The community worked with researchers to develop a warning system to prevent such tragedies in the future.
This research examines the coproduction of early warning systems linked with response capacities for floods and landslides through the case study of work in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, with a focus on nine urban informal settlements with high levels of territorial gang violence.
To help improve landslide communication in Sitka, we used a community-partnered approach to social network analysis to identify potential key actors for landslide risk communication and structural holes that may inhibit communication.
Good citizen science brings a community together and helps it prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. A RAND guide takes non-expert investigators from the early stages of defining their questions and setting their goals, through building their teams, to planning for action.
In 2020, the global pandemic and ongoing chronic stressors caused multiple shocks in the United States. The authors describe recommendations to advance an integrative resilience research and practice agenda based on recent stakeholder experiences.
Long before it was popularized and made its way into political slogans and economic recovery battle cries, the phrase “building back better” was a central tenet of disaster recovery and community resilience. How should community voices be incorporated into “building back better” processes?
This report shares findings from a rapid review of the evidence on the use and effectiveness of arts-based approaches for public engagement with research.
This study demonstrated the feasibility and import of involving formerly incarcerated adults in the design, implementation, and testing of interventions intended to support their reintegration efforts.
Using a community-based participatory research approach, we explored adolescent, parent, and community stakeholder perspectives on barriers to healthy eating and physical activity, and intervention ideas to address adolescent obesity.
To improve health and reduce inequities through health services research, investigators are increasingly actively involving individuals and institutions who would be affected by the research.
Site visits offer a useful means to evaluate the implementation of school district obesity-related policies and develop interventions to translate school food policies into practice.
The authors describe a community based participatory research (CBPR) effort to develop, pilot test, and conduct a randomized controlled trial of a school-based adolescent obesity prevention program.
Describes lessons learned from developing and pilot testing a middle school-based obesity prevention intervention using Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in Los Angeles, California.
