Community-based Participatory Research and The Applied Behavior Center for Autism
“Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an action research methodology; its hallmark is its emphasis on community engagement through the empowerment of community members as partners in the research endeavor” (Pritchett, 2021). The Applied Behavior Center for Autism is dedicated to promoting such research to include:
- Any individual interested in conducting research must first read and answer questions on: Pritchett, M., Ala’i-Rosales, S., Cruz, A. R., & Cihon, T. M. (2021). Social justice is the spirit and aim of an applied science of human behavior: Moving from colonial to participatory research practices. Behavior Analysis in Practice, 1-19. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40617-021-00591-7
- All individuals must fill out and follow ABC’s internal Community-based Participatory Research Checklist.
- ABC’s Research Department reviews our entire process and the data from the checklist yearly to determine what additional changes may be necessary.
Please contact our Research Department at vince@appliedbehaviorcenter.org if you would like more information on the resources we use to support CBPR.
