Community-based research

• Two Streams, One River: Comparing Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Community-Based Research in Canada. By Dan Allman and Ted Myers; The University of Edinburgh Centre of Canadian Studies
  "Aboriginal Community-Based Research (CBR) can be defined as a set of culturally-appropriate and methodologically-sound processes for research, analysis, and dissemination which empower and benefit participating communities and other stakeholders. Aboriginal CBR promotes self-determination through OCAP principles — that is Ownership, Control, Access and Possession. This paper describes one river's confluences where two research streams meet and intertwine."



• Concepts, Definitions and Models for Community-Based HIV Prevention Research (PDF: COMMUNITY.PDF). By Dan Allman, T. Myers and R. Cockerill; Behavioural and Epidemiological Studies Unit, University of Toronto, 1997. (This document is 29.9 MB!)
  "This document is more about one research ethic — a community role in research — than 'ethics'. Perhaps it helped push things forward here a bit in Canada, in that it pushed for a democratization of research, but it is not classic ethics like a Nuremberg code."
