RESUMEN

IMPORTANCE: Disability studies-informed occupational therapy is predicated on full and equal partnerships among occupational therapy practitioners, researchers, and disability communities. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an approach to research that aligns with this vision yet is not without challenges. Understanding the tensions that arise from stakeholders' perspectives and priorities is critical for promoting collaboration between occupational therapy professionals and disability community partners. OBJECTIVE: To understand the group dynamics and relational processes of a CPBR team in the context of an intervention development study focused on health management for people with disabilities (PWD). DESIGN: This 9-mo ethnographic study included semistructured interviews and participant observation. Data were analyzed thematically. SETTING: Community-based multiagency collaborative. PARTICIPANTS: Nine participants (6 academic team members, 4 of whom were trained as occupational therapists; 2 disability partners; and 1 managed-care organization representative) took part. Three participants self-identified as PWD. FINDINGS: CBPR processes, although productive, were fraught with challenges. Team members navigated competing priorities, varying power dynamics, and multifaceted roles and identities. Flexibility was needed to address diverse priorities, respond to unexpected challenges, and facilitate the project's success. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Deep commitment to a shared goal of health care justice for PWD and team members' willingness to address tensions promoted successful collaboration. Intentional relationship building is needed for occupational therapy researchers to collaborate with members of disability communities as equal partners. What This Article Adds: Disability studies-informed occupational therapy research demands that team members intentionally nurture equitable relationships through shared governance, clear communication, and recognition of the fluid nature of power dynamics.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Women with disabilities are an unrecognized cancer disparities population who experience well-documented barriers to breast cancer screening. There is a critical need for targeted, community-directed programing to address these disparities. OBJECTIVES: To describe the trajectory of a long-term community-academic partnership aimed at understanding and addressing breast cancer screening disparities among women with disabilities. METHODS: Phase 1 was a thematic qualitative focus group study (n = 40) with women with physical disabilities to understand their breast cancer screening experiences. Phase 2 was the application of an equity-focused knowledge translation (KT) process that brought together breast cancer survivors with disabilities and graduate applied health students in KT collaboratives to create innovative, evidence-informed knowledge products. Phase 3 included the development of community-based programming. RESULTS: In phase 1, women with disabilities identified provider and patient barriers to breast cancer screening, including a lack of provider knowledge and respect for individuals with disabilities, lack of accessibility, the history of stigma and mistreatment within the health care setting, and treatment fatigue. In phase 2, KT collaboratives created the short film "ScreenABLE" to educate providers and community members about physical and attitudinal barriers to cancer screening. In phase 3, community, academic, and clinical partners collaborated to create ScreenABLE Saturday, a wellness fair and free accessible mammograms, for women with disabilities with programming developed to directly address cancer screening barriers identified from the phase 1 research. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term sustained partnerships between academic, disability, and clinical partners are needed to address the complex issues that perpetuate breast cancer screening disparities among women with disabilities.
