About this course

In 2016, CBPR[e]Education was developed by Health[e]Foundation and AIDS Foundation East-West (AFEW) International to motivate and train community-based organizations and researchers to use new and relevant interventions to address public health concerns with the involvement of the community. Research findings can be used to stimulate social change and improve the wellbeing of the community. Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has gained popularity as a new approach for researchers who are designing and doing research. CBPR is based on the concept that it is important to involve the community, organizational representatives and participant researchers throughout the research process; and aims to improve the communities’ health and quality of life.

Who is this course for?

The course is especially designed for community-based organizations and community based researchers. This course was initially developed for participants in Eastern Europa and Central Asia, but is also for aspiring community-based research in other regions.
