Com­mu­ni­ties most affect­ed by gun vio­lence are often the sub­ject of research, but the peo­ple who live in these com­mu­ni­ties have lim­it­ed influ­ence over how stud­ies are designed and con­duct­ed. A new guide from the Black & Brown Collective for Community Solutions to Gun Violence seeks to change that by offer­ing prac­ti­cal rec­om­men­da­tions for researchers seek­ing to build mean­ing­ful part­ner­ships with com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers.
