<font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Calibri">Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a collaborative approach that equitably involves partners (typically academic and community partners) in the research process and recognises the unique strengths
that each partner brings. CBPR is acknowledged as a promising practice for addressing health inequities and health issues in vulnerable, underserved, and ethnic minority populations, particularly around lifestyle diseases. However, the science of CBPR has
lagged behind the implementation of CBPR.<o:p></o:p></font></p>

<font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Calibri">Over the past seven years, Professor Oetzel has been involved with a multidisciplinary research teams across three institutions in the U.S. (National Congress of American Indians, University of New Mexico,
and University of Washington) to theorise and study CBPR processes and outcomes. Currently, they are in the beginning of the final year of a four-year project that analyses 200 CBPR projects across the United States and have recently completed data collection.
An earlier three-year project resulted in the development of a theoretical logic model of CBPR.<o:p></o:p></font></p>

<font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Calibri">In this presentation, Dr. Oetzel will share preliminary research findings from this large, multi-method study that illustrate the best practices around CBPR. Further, he will also reveal the theoretical
model of CBPR to introduce the core components of CBPR and offer recommendations for academics interested in implementing CBPR, particularly around how to build and maintain effective partnerships and engage communities.<o:p></o:p></font></p>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><span style="color: black; ">John G. Oetzel (Ph.D., University of Iowa, USA) is a professor in the Department of Management Communication in the Waikato Management School at the
University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand. He teaches courses in conflict, intercultural communication, health communication, and research methods. His research programme centres on understanding and improving challenging communication among people with
different group identities (particularly cultural identities). He uses quantitative survey methods and/or mixed method designs to address three strands: 1) conflict in culturally diverse work groups and organisations, 2) communication in the health care delivery
process, and 3) partnerships between community members and academics to address community health. His research collaborations have received nearly $4 million USD funding from state and federal governments in the U.S. and New Zealand to examine communication
and health issues around these themes. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; ">He is co-author (with Stella Ting-Toomey) of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><i>Managing
