| Abstract | Community-based research brings together researchers and community members as partners to conduct research of mutual concern. This article describes the components necessary to implement a successful research partnership, taking as an example a study of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk among residents of senior housing sites in two North American cities. The article describes important aspects of building and sustaining partnerships, the methods implemented to conduct research on sensitive topics, share resources, disseminate results and collaborate on programs and interventions to benefit the health and well-being of older adults. |
