Qualitative cross-site study reveals that researcher positionality shapes community partnerships, indicating that confronting power dynamics is essential for equitable health research outcomes.

Key Points

To examine how researcher identity, privilege, and academic team composition influence community-based participatory research processes and health disparity outcomes.
Analyzed partnership processes across seven community-based participatory research case studies within a national cross-site evaluation.
Conducted multidisciplinary team self-reflections on racial, ethnic, and gender positionality using feminist and post-colonial theoretical frameworks.
Core principles of collaborative research cannot be effectively realized without explicitly identifying and addressing unequal academic-community power relations.
Systematic self-reflection on academic researcher identity and positionality is essential for equalizing power distribution and achieving health equity.
