Community-Based Participatory Research & Practice

About

Community-based participatory research and practice (CBPRP) has emerged as a core discipline in behavioral and social science departments within schools of public health. CBPRP is a collaborative process of research and practice that includes both researchers and community representatives. Communities are generally defined as those that share a unit of identity (e.g. social ties, geographical locations). The CBPRP process involves engaging community members, using local knowledge in the understanding of health problems, and a long-term commitment to partnership. CBPRP is oriented towards holistic interventions informed by social ecology modeling, a widely recognized approach that not only targets knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals, but also includes social factors such as family and friendship ties, community norms, and the structure of community services.

How to Apply

We require applicants to answer a short answer question. If you have not submitted your answer yet, then you may submit your response online or via email at [email protected]. Please be sure to include your full name exactly as it appears on your passport, date of birth, and student ID (if known) in your email.

Discrepancies and misrepresentations could result in the Admissions Committee revoking your admissions decision.
Original or certified, official secondary school records from grades 9-11 (transcripts, marksheets, certificates, examination results, etc.) and any national/state examination results required in your country.

If your secondary record only includes grades 10-12, please submit the third year of your middle school transcript. Note: Students may be required to complete a transcript evaluation.
- If you have a General Education Diploma (GED) email the Admissions Office [email protected] about your options. In some cases the GED is not accepted.

Your official results should be sent by the testing agency directly to the University of Pittsburgh using the appropriate code number: SAT: 2927 or ACT: 3734
