"This book is a major contribution to the public health field. The editors are some of our most outstanding leaders in community-based participatory research."
—From the Foreword by David Satcher

"Missing from the emerging field of University-community partnerships is a broad based discussion of methods for partnership formation and sustainability.  This must-have edited volume is an important contribution to building the field. Based on federally funded collaborative research with multiple community stakeholders, it offers readers across disciplines and sectors a set of conceptual and practical tools and case materials for application and teaching."
—Jean J. Schensul, Ph.D., senior scientist and founding director, Institute for Community Research
