Description

The goal of community-based research is to develop a deeper understanding of communities and to discover new opportunities and to discover new opportunities for improving quality of life.

The nine case studies in this diverse collection provide real life examples of community-based research in Aboriginal, urban, and rural communities. Journeys in Community-Based Research shows how taking into account socio-economic, geographic, and cultural contexts can lead to public policy that better serves the most vulnerable in our society.
