Conclusion

In this chapter, we presented nine principles that are essential to the success of community-engaged health promotion and research. As noted in Chapter 1, however, community engagement is a continuum, and its specifics must be determined in response to the nature of one’s endeavor and the organizational and community context in which it occurs. The next chapter will provide examples of how these principles have been applied in specific collaborative efforts.
