“…In addition to using EPIS to inform the implementation and evaluation, all of the work described within the case study has been strongly guided by a community-academic partnership (Drahota et al, 2016). The primary members of this partnership include policy-makers, leadership from community mental health agencies, and university-based researchers.…”

Exposure to traumatic experiences among youth is a serious public health concern. A trauma-informed public behavioral health system that emphasizes core principles such as understanding trauma, promoting safety, supporting consumer autonomy, sharing power, and ensuring cultural competence, is needed to support traumatized youth and the providers who work with them. This article describes a case study of the creation and evaluation of a trauma-informed publicly funded behavioral health system for children and adolescents in the City of Philadelphia (the Philadelphia Alliance for Child Trauma Services; PACTS) using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) as a guiding framework. We describe our evaluation of this effort with an emphasis on implementation determinants and outcomes. Implementation determinants include inner context factors, specifically therapist knowledge and attitudes (N = 114) towards evidence-based practices. Implementation outcomes include information on rate of PTSD diagnoses in agencies over time, number of youth receiving TF-CBT over time, and penetration (i.e., number of youth receiving TF-CBT divided by the number of youth screening positive on trauma screening). We describe lessons learned from our experiences building a trauma-informed public behavioral health system in the hopes that this case study can guide other similar efforts.

“…Using CBPR is suggested to ensure research question relevance (Halkoaho et al, 2016;Meza, Drahota, & Spurgeon, 2015), build respectful relationships between research and practice communities (Drahota et al, 2016), and aid with crosscultural research requirements such as language interpretation (Lee, Sulaiman-Hill, & Thompson, 2014) or culturally sensitive interpersonal communications (Spector, 2012).…”

Health researchers are increasingly using community-based participatory research approaches because of the benefits accrued through ongoing community engagement. The documentation of our research partnership highlights key ethical and analytical challenges researchers face in participatory research, particularly in projects partnering with service providers or cultural brokers in cross-cultural settings. In this article, we describe how choices made to accommodate a participatory research approach in the examination of vaccination behavior impacted the process and outcomes of our qualitative inquiries. First, we found that employing multiple interviewers influenced the breadth of discussion topics, thus reducing the ability to achieve saturation in small study populations. This was mitigated by (a) having two people at each interview and (b) using convergent interviewing, a technique in which multiple interviewers discuss and include concepts raised in interviews in subsequent interviews to test the validity of interview topics. Second, participants were less engaged during the informed consent process if they knew the interviewer before the interview commenced. Finally, exposing identity traits, such as age or immigration status, before the interview affected knowledge cocreation, as the focus of the conversation then mirrored those traits. For future research, we provide recommendations to reduce ethical and analytical concerns that arise with qualitative interview methods in participatory research. Specifically, we provide guidance to ensure ethical informed consent processes and rigorous interview techniques.

“…The view from the scientific community appears to be trending toward greater inclusion or, at the least, recognizing the value of citizen involvement in science for decisionmaking (Drahota et al, 2016;General Services Administration, 2016). Over the past 30 years, there has been a steady rise in participatory research approaches across scientific disciplines, with the public engaged alongside scientific experts as coproducers of knowledge (Drahota et al, 2016).…”
