Abstract
This chapter represents some of the diverse voices of community agencies and self-help organizations. Their perspective has been largely absent from the literature. Therefore, their participation in this book signifies an advance in academicians' valuation of community expertise. This chapter offers a community perspective, tempered by personal and indirect experiences, of the contributions to participatory research presented in the preceding chapters. The authors' objective is to facilitate respectful and effective university-community collaborations for participatory community research and for program development. Several themes emerged from their considerations of the fit of participatory research methods and findings with the realities of social and economic problems, as experienced at the community level. These themes are the focus of this chapter. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
