Unequal Treatment

Community partnerships have been recognized as the cornerstone of community research. The recent Institute of Medicine report, Unequal Treatment, puts forth the idea of creating community partnerships as a strategy to address racial and ethnic disparities in health care. Community-based research is frequently reported in the literature as a study conducted in the community versus with the community. The objective of this review is to examine models of community partnerships, to consider their implications for community-based research, and to identify directions for future nursing research.
