Knowledge for Use: Anthropology and Community Centered Substance Abuse Research. Singer, M. Social Science and Medicine; 1993, 37, 1, July, 15 25., 1993.
abstract   bibtex   
With the ethnographic other no longer a focus of study by anthropologists, current anthropology faces a need to redefine its role. Two solutions are examined: (1) a detached postmodern approach that experiments with alternative methods of anthropological writing; \& (2) the approach preferred \& illustrated here, of community centered research. In this approach, the anthropologist collaborates with the community in its struggle for self development, through, eg, conducting empirical studies, tracking changes, \& influencing policy development. The community centered approach is described based on personal involvement in the Hartford (CT) substance abuse prevention program of the Puerto Rican community based organization. 49 References. I.
