In the recent years, Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) have been the most widely used interventions to improve population health. The CBPR is by far one of the most effective methodologies used to engage the community members and the researchers in solving complex health problems (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). Thus, is to correct the ongoing social problem that are preventable through health educations and outreaches. Nowadays, CBPR has become more useful to reaching minorities populations through the use of internet enabling health to disseminate of events and outreach possible (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). As internet access promotes extensive social network communication to enhance social media messages in the development

Therefore, the growth of CBPR helps not only researchers to access information on the health status of a population but for a target community to become their own advocators to advance their community health through active networking and collaboration. This case study is taken from the Just Move It (JMI), case number two, driven by both American and Alaska Native Indians tribal promoting wellness and physical actives for their communities nationwide (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). Research have shown that tribal Indians have one of the highest mortality and morbidity rates (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). In a given instance tribal Indians make up nearly 231 percent of the diabetes cases in the United States compared to any other population as a whole (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). Since nearly 69% of Native Americans have access to the internet, the central point is driven to promote health and health wellness by turning to internet-based tools to initiate teaching, sharing, learning, supporting, motivating, and networking for practical health lessons (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). Through the use of the internet to disseminate information the JMI CBPR has successfully promoted over 1 million Natives people out of the 4.1 million people to become physically mobilized in getting …show more content…
The principle of CBPR is to support long-term commitments in the researchers efforts to bring about positive social changes for the Native tribes (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). CBPR is proposed to make long-term changes based on the process of a community and researchers commitment to reduce the ongoing health disparities for the purpose of developing a continuous relationship and commitment with one another(Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). The hope is for strong partnership growth over time in the effort to cease the health epidemic of Indians by establishing relationship between the organizations, the communities, with the parties agreement to support advancing their population health (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2008). As CBPR helps to determine the roots causes, and the intervention needed to promote new agenda and initiatives as a grassroots process of analyzing community health and health policies (Bracht,1999; Laureate Education,
