Key Points

This systematic review investigates the utilization of community-based participatory research (CBPR) in psychology, especially for multicultural populations.
Identified 1912 CBPR-related articles from 2004 to 2014 using PsycINFO, PubMed, and CINAHL Complete databases.
Approximately 16% (n=311) of identified articles were related to psychology, accounting for <1% of peer-reviewed publications in mainstream psychology journals.
Analyzed publication features including authors' training, journal types, study populations, and investigation topics.
86% of U.S. psychology-related CBPR articles focused on multicultural and marginalized populations.
Prominent study topics included physical health, mental and behavioral health, and methodological articles.
Findings indicate significant potential for increased CBPR use in psychology to promote health equity.
