Community-based research is a research approach that involves collaboration between researchers and community members to address issues of mutual concern. This research is typically conducted within a specific community or with a specific population group, with the goal of creating positive social change and empowering the community members involved in the research process. Community-based research often involves participatory methods, such as involving community members in all stages of the research process, from developing research questions to analyzing and interpreting data. This approach emphasizes the importance of building trust and relationships with the community, as well as sharing knowledge and resources in a reciprocal and mutually beneficial way. Ultimately, community-based research seeks to generate research findings that are relevant, actionable, and meaningful to the community being studied.
