Methods for community-engaged data collection and analysis in implementation research
Community involvement in implementation research data collection and analysis contributes to greater engagement and empowerment of community members and validation of study findings. Use of methods that exhibit both scientific rigor and community relevance of implementation research also contributes to greater community investment in successful implementation outcomes. Nevertheless, the case studies point to the importance and efficiency of the division of labor embedded in community-engaged implementation research. Building capacity for community members to assume greater roles in obtaining and organizing data for preliminary analysis prior to interpretation is recommended.
