J Law Med Ethics. 2012 Winter;40(4):904-14. doi: 10.1111/j.1748-720X.2012.00719.x.

Abstract

For decades, the dominant research paradigm has included trials conducted in clinical settings with little involvement from communities. The move toward community engaged research (CEnR) necessitates the inclusion of diverse perspectives to address complex problems. Using a relationship paradigm, CEnR reframes the context, considerations, practical steps, and outcomes of research.
