title: A community-based participatory approach to personalized, computer-generated nutrition feedback reports: the healthy environments partnership.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Computer tailoring and personalizing recommendations for dietary health-promoting behaviors are in accordance with community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles, which emphasizes research that benefits the participants and community involved.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To describe the CBPR process utilized to computer-generate and disseminate personalized nutrition feedback reports (NFRs) for Detroit Healthy Environments Partnership (HEP) study participants.
  
  
  METHODS
  The CBPR process included discussion and feedback from HEP partners on several draft personalized reports. The nutrition feedback process included defining the feedback objectives; prioritizing the nutrients; customizing the report design; reviewing and revising the NFR template and readability; producing and disseminating the report; and participant follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Application of CBPR principles in designing the NFR resulted in a reader-friendly product with useful recommendations to promote heart health.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A CBPR process can enhance computer tailoring of personalized NFRs to address racial and socioeconomic disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD).
