Using Community-Based Participatory Research to Ask and Answer Questions Regarding the Environment and Health by Mary E Northridge, Katherine Shoemaker, Betina Jean-Louis, Benjamin Ortiz, et. al. Environmental Health Perspectives, 2005. p. 34

“The authors of this article are currently entering their third year of collaboration on the Harlem Children’s Zone Asthma Initiative (HCZAI), a population-based intervention in Central Harlem in New York City, with multiple partners led by the Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) and the Department of Pediatrics at Harlem Hospital Center (HHC) (Nicholas et al. 2005; Northridge et al. 2002). In the remainder of this article we, as representatives from three of these partnering organizations, offer our collective hopes for the future of CBPR as it contributes to research on the environment and health, with contributors from Columbia University, HCZ, and HHC presenting their perspectives in turn.”
