Challenges And Opportunities

Persistent disparities in exclusionary discipline procedures continue to portent negative educational outcomes for students from specific racial, income, and ability categories. Restorative practices (RP) has emerged as a promising approach to mitigate these disparities and improve school climate. This study describes the utility of field-initiated implementation readiness assessments that might guide school districts by targeting the needs of faculty and staff. This study is a part of a mixed-methods Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) project made possible by a university and school-district partnership. The results reveal potential challenges and opportunities related to RP implementation and hold implications for professional development trainings for school districts that aim to implement RP as a foundation to employ more just and effective disciplinary mechanisms.

Abstract Background Political, economic and climate events continue to bring the dismantling of communities and creation of new ones. Understanding successful models of adaptation and working with communities to address their health and wellbeing needs requires ethically sound public health research. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has been proposed as an equitable, empowering partnership approach to collaborative health research that encapsulates analysis, advocacy and action for the future wellbeing of communities. Meanwhile, a strong interest in ethical implications of CBPR continues in international literature, yet with a notable lack of research that captures the experience of researchers who had ethical challenges in their CBPR studies. The aim of this research was to address this lack of evidence by exploring those experiences of CBPR researchers internationally. Methods An innovative data collection method was designed utilising a purpose-built blog. This internet-based, qualitative online study enabled asynchronous international data collection on the blog. Participants were researchers with experience of CBPR and were recruited through social media platforms. Blog narratives of first-hand experiences of CBPR researchers were analysed using thematic analysis. Results The themes that emerged from blog data analysis were researchers' challenges with balancing participant protection and autonomy, dealing with partnership tensions, and the enduring impacts on the researchers. Conclusions This study enhances our understanding of ethical challenges in CBPR with evidence of enduring impacts on researchers of the 'tightrope' they walked in the interests of maintaining research integrity and ethical responsibility towards their partnering communities. Challenges arose largely from complexities of CBPR coupled with rigid regulatory structures of human research ethics review that struggles to respond adequately in the interests of communities and researchers. Key messages At this critical time for the future of humanity, communities can benefit from CBPR. A positive way forward for ethical review of CBPR exists for those with power to make a difference.

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches have been important avenues for addressing community vulnerability during pandemics and times of crises. There has been little guidance, however, on how to approach CBPR within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic where physical distancing and closure of essential community organizations became the norm. This study discusses challenges and possibilities of using CBPR during a pandemic to address the needs of immigrant and racialized older adults in Alberta, Canada. Two case studies of active research projects that aim to engage immigrant and racialized older adults are presented. Three key challenges are identified related to research activities during the pandemic: (a) pivoting as new foci emerge, (b) recognizing inequity in research participation, and (c) reflecting on well-being in the research team. Approaches to addressing these challenges are highlighted with recommendations for future considerations in CBPR research within vulnerable communities.
