Praise for the Second Edition of Community–Based Participatory Research for Health

"A must–read for funders, researchers, and community partners committed to authentic, change–making community engagement." Gail C. Christopher, DN, vice president for health, W.K. Kellogg Foundation

"This welcome new edition critically analyzes the growing use and evaluation of community–based participatory research to expose and alter societal conditions driving health inequities and encourage action for health equity." Nancy Krieger, PhD, professor, Department of Society, Human Development, and Health, Harvard School of Public Health

"Minkler and Wallerstein have pulled together a fantastic set of contributions from the leading researchers in the field. In addition to a fine collection of case studies, this book puts the key issues for researchers and practitioners in a historical, philosophical, and applied practical context." David Buchanan, DrPH, professor of Community Health Education, School of Public Health and Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and author, An Ethic for Health Promotion

"A mustread for those whose vision is to build a democratic health care system that improves the well–being of the entire nation by embracing and including populations currently estranged from justice in access to health care simply by virtue of personal characteristics or circumstances." Henrie M. Treadwell, PhD, director, Community Voices and Men′s Health Initiatives, Morehouse School of Medicine

"This exciting new edition offers new directions and critically reflects on the goals, processes, and outcomes in this partnership approach to research." Ann C. Macaulay, CM, MD, professor of family medicine, director, Participatory Research, Department of Family Medicine, McGill University
