Participatory cross case analysis of five community-based research ethics review processes
Approach: In year one, we analyzed data obtained through structured interviews, focus groups and reviews of documents from 2 community IRBs and 3 community-based research review committees. In year two, we conducted a cross-case analysis drawing on the individual case studies and a focus group held with the study team.
Results: Cross-case analysis revealed case differences that included demographics of the communities served and practices/policies (i.e., voting practices, membership criteria). Case similarities included underlying commitments to the community, rationale for developing a review process, and ethical issues considered.
Discussion: This session will provide an overview of the study methodology, describing our partnership formation and collaboration. We will discuss the different models of community-based review processes and the benefits and challenges of implementing a review process. We will also provide an overview of study findings.

Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have been a co-principal investigator with Sarena Seifer (Executive Director of Community-Campus Partnerships for Health) since 2007 when we were awarded a Greenwall Foundation grant to study community-based research ethics review processes. The submitted abstracts are a result of our continued work on a NIH National Collaborative study partnering with five community-based research ethics review processes.
