Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)

CBPR is an academic-community partnership that prioritizes the goals, values and perspectives of the individuals most impacted by the research. Here, that means research and research-based support services that are designed by and for meditators-in-distress, rather than by beneficiaries of the meditation industry (individuals or organizations that are personally or financially invested in meditation practices being beneficial and/or without side effects).
