abstract="It is my pleasure to introduce this themed issue on &quot;Participatory Research and Capacity Building for Community Health and Development.&quot; While most of the literature is still dominated by targeted interventions, run by researchers, that have a limited reach (usually affecting change among much less than 100 persons), these community interventions affect the broader social ecology. Even further, there is a growing literature on community-engaged scholarship that calls for this kind of active partnership but often falls far short of its goals (Calleson, Jordan, & Seifer, 2005 ). The articles in this themed issue represent the possibility of collaborations between university researchers, state-level policy makers, and community-based groups to affect widespread changes in the social and physical environment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
