The collaboration between WE ACT and its

partnership in which partners share a deep respect for one another and the

partners display very different levels of interest in working on policyrelated

(describing CBPR as an empowering, participatory, and colearning process;
fostering community capacity and systems change; balancing research and action;

C. Which of these guidelines might be particularly useful for helping
partnerships deal with the different commitments and objectives of diverse
