Qualitative research is appearing with increasing frequency in the public health and medical literature.  Qualitative research in combination with a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach can be powerful. However, little information is available on how qualitative research can advance CBPR partnership efforts and tools to guide the presentation of qualitative research in general, and within a CBPR framework in particular, for peer-review publications are lacking. This presentation provides a brief overview of how qualitative research can strengthen CBPR partnership efforts and provides practical guidelines for writing for publication about qualitative research within a CBPR framework.  Specifically, the aims of this presentation are to (1) guide partners with little experience in qualitative research with a CBPR framework and/or publishing in peer-reviewed journals and (2) facilitate effective preparation of manuscripts based on qualitative research for peer-reviewed journals. Based on our experiences as editors of the peer-reviewed journal Progress in Community Health Partnerships, we provide information regarding the specific benefits of qualitative inquiry in CBPR, tips for organizing the manuscript, questions to consider in preparing the manuscript, and common mistakes in the presentation of qualitative research.
