Since online media can be key in the widespread, symmetrical dissemination of science, we performed a media content analysis of 44 online articles to assess coverage of a French community-based participatory research (CBPR) epidemiologic study. Most articles highlighted methodological rigor and the research topic’s salience to residents. Approximately half of the articles reported findings, with the remaining focusing on action steps. To our knowledge, this study is the first to explore how online media communicate CBPR, a novel approach in the French context, to the public. Though there were some gaps in the media’s portrayal, CBPR may facilitate online media uptake of findings. We provide recommendations for future research on this topic.

新闻中基于社区的参与性研究：法国健康研究在线媒体特征的定性案例研究

由于在线媒体可能是科学广泛、对称传播的关键，我们对 44 篇在线文章进行了媒体内容分析，以评估法国社区参与式研究 (CBPR) 流行病学研究的覆盖率。大多数文章都强调了方法论的严谨性和研究主题对居民的重要性。大约一半的文章报告了调查结果，其余的则侧重于行动步骤。据我们所知，这项研究是第一个探讨在线媒体如何向公众传达 CBPR（法国语境中的一种新颖方法）的研究。尽管媒体的描述存在一些差距，但 CBPR 可能会促进在线媒体对调查结果的吸收。我们为未来关于这个主题的研究提供建议。
