"The editors and authors have done a tremendous service to the
field by bringing together the full range of community-based
research methods in a single, comprehensive volume. The result is a
valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, students, and
community organizations alike." --Keith Humphreys, PhD, Professor
of Psychiatry, Stanford University
"There is no genre of research more essential to enhancing quality
of life in contemporary society than community-based research. And
there is no compendium of community-based research methods that is
more comprehensive, intellectually stimulating, and practically
useful than the current volume. A tour de force--and a great
service to the field." --Kenneth Maton, PhD, Professor of
Psychology, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
"A must-have for any methodologist in the community field. Jason
and Glenwick again give us the latest and most applicable
methodologies for dealing with the complexities to be found within
communities." --John Moritsugu, PhD, Professor of Psychology,
Pacific Lutheran University, and President, Society for Community
Research and Action
"This book should be mandatory for any graduate program in
community psychology and is an essential resource for researchers
and change agents working on community-based concerns. The chapters
are well illustrated with examples and I actually could follow most
of them--a testimony to the authors!... Even if one is not actively
engaged in research, the chapters in this book provide valued
window into what one is reading in research reports, which, in
turn, often
influence practice and policy, but not always wisely or
appropriately." --Maurice J. Elias, Ph.D., Community
Psychologist
"...[S]hould be mandatory for any graduate program in community
psychology and is an essential resource for researchers and change
agents working on community-based concerns."
----Maurice J. Elias, Ph.D., Community Psychologist
"Each well-crafted, easily read chapter describes the method,
instructs on how to use it, and provides a case study... a valuable
resource for any evaluators who work in community-based
settings."--Community Psychology AEA TIG Newsletter
