We are looking at the town of Happyville in the next couple of weeks of lecture. The town has an obesity crisis and an increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in youth and adults. Your team decides to use a community based participatory research approach with a focus on middle school kids.
In your initial review of the town’s resources, you discover they have a recreation center, YMCA and after-school program. Your job on the team is to form a CBPR relationship with these three centers and to assess the communities strengths and weaknesses.
Submission:
- Describe how you would approach these centers and how you would start building your relationship and community mobilization?
- Describe a plan to assess the community’s strengths and weaknesses?
- What are the pros and cons of this process?
