Cases Summary This case study provides an overview of the use of community-based participatory research to understand trajectories of mental health and school achievement in immigrant adolescents. We describe the benefits of utilizing community-based participatory research with understudied populations and demonstrate the ways in which creating a community partnerships fostered our ability to obtain difficult-to-access data. We provide insight and rationale about the strategies that were utilized to develop a research design, ways to navigate differing needs of research stakeholders, and the distinct components of preparing an effective plan for data collection in the community. By addressing the when, where, who, what, and how questions of the study development, we provide insight about the distinct steps needed to create an effective research plan. We articulate strategies utilized to establish professional relationships, obtain community resources and donations to provide incentives for participation, and recruit volunteers to build a strong research team. Our experiences with overcoming challenges that are part of community research are discussed and tips on how to navigate these challenges are provided. Our goal is to demonstrate that through varied methods such as collaboration, building community networks, and using available resources, community-based participatory research can be useful to understand and better serve understudied populations Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on XML content Subject Immigrant youth -- Education -- Case studies.
