Definition:
"researcher seeks community assistance in problem definition, research design, contributing factors and potential solutions...community becomes the collaborator in research...empowering and enabling and advisory in nature" (Hatch et al, 1993)

"CBPR recognizes the importance of establishing relationship beyond that of expert and client, the actual practice between researchers and communtiy members remain complex and involves making transparent the power differences recognized or not" (Scott 1990)
