Seven competencies to enhance the quality of community-based co-production research partnerships for health
Decolonising health research requires a shift to inclusive processes, and actively engaging with communities. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) fosters collaboration among communities, researchers, and implementers to produce contextual knowledge for action. Enhancing co-production skills and competencies has been shown to improve research quality and validity, while CBPR principles have been developed, limited guidance exists on the skills needed to adhere to these. There is a need for frameworks to guide equitable and meaningful contributions from both community and external partners. This poster, prepared for the Prince Mahidol Award Conference, explores the competencies necessary to foster high quality research partnerships with community-based organisations and co-researchers.
