Abstract: This guide outlines the central position of ethics in community-based participatory research (CBPR), identifying the underlying ethical principles and offering guidance for putting the principles into practice. One of the main aims of producing this guide is to raise participatory researchers’ awareness of the ethical challenges that may arise, and to enhance their ability to tackle such challenges. Participatory researchers may be members of community organisations, academics, research students or other professional researchers. Another aim is to encourage research funders, public engagement professionals, academic and other institutions and research ethics committees to understand the complexities of CBPR. Taking account of the nuances of CBPR may require institutions to change their ways of working and reconsider their values.
