ABSTRACT Trauma psychologists seeking to engage in evidence-based advocacy and action may benefit from methods that prioritize public problem solving. Community-engaged research (CEnR) is one such method, characterized by reciprocal and mutually beneficial partnerships between academic researchers and community organizations to address public problems. The CEnR framework is designed and implemented in the context of researcher-community partnership; as such, the findings from this approach promise to be responsive to the real-world concerns of communities seeking to address trauma. This manuscript first articulates the rationale for CEnR in evidence-based advocacy and action. Next, we provide illustrations from our research team’s CEnR focus on access to victim service and legal information following interpersonal traumas. We describe how CEnR positioned our team to be responsive in a quickly evolving sociopolitical context while providing data needed for community partners and trauma researchers alike to advocate for survivors and victim services. With this example as a jumping-off point, we discuss potential systemic changes that could foster increased use of CEnR strategies to address trauma-related problems in our communities.

社区参与研究：探索行动和宣传工具

摘要寻求参与循证倡导和行动的创伤心理学家可能会受益于优先解决公共问题的方法。社区参与研究 (CEnR) 就是这样一种方法，其特点是学术研究人员和社区组织之间建立互惠互利的伙伴关系，以解决公共问题。CEnR 框架是在研究人员-社区伙伴关系的背景下设计和实施的；因此，这种方法的研究结果有望回应寻求解决创伤的社区的现实问题。这份手稿首先阐明了 CEnR 在循证倡导和行动中的基本原理。接下来，我们提供了来自我们研究团队的 CEnR 的插图，重点是在人际创伤后获得受害者服务和法律信息。我们描述了 CEnR 如何让我们的团队在快速发展的社会政治环境中做出响应，同时为社区合作伙伴和创伤研究人员提供所需的数据，以倡导幸存者和受害者服务。以这个例子为起点，我们讨论了潜在的系统性变化，这些变化可以促进更多地使用 CEnR 策略来解决我们社区中与创伤相关的问题。
