What to know
Chapter 2 introduces nine principles of community engagement. These principles are informed by the literature, in-the-field experiences, and communities. Each principle offers key concepts to consider when engaging with the community.
Section Overview
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. Its specifics must be determined in response to 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.
