| Summary |
Methodoloigical Approaches to Community-Based Research offers innovative research tools that are most effective for understanding social problems in general and change in complex person-environment systems at the community level. Methodological pluralism and mixed-methods research are the overarching-themes in this groundbreaking edited volume, as contributors explain cutting-edge research methodologies that analyze data in special groupings, over time, or within various contexts: As such, the methodologies presented here are holistic and culturally valid, and support contextually grounded community interventions |

The extensive illustrations and case studies in Methodological Approaches will give, readers a comprehensive understanding of community-level phenomena and a rich appreciation for the way collaboration across behavioral science disciplines leads to more effective community based interventions |
