Developing a family-based HIV prevention intervention in rural Kenya: Challenges in conducting community-based participatory research
This paper discusses the ethical challenges faced by a CBPR study in rural Kenya to develop and pilot a family-based HIV prevention and mental health promotion intervention. The ethical challenges that emerged related to: negotiating power imbalances between academic partners and the community advisory committee; the community advisory committee members’ shifting roles as part of the committee and the wider community; and anticipated challenges in decision making about sustainability.
