Abstract: In this chapter, readers learn about advocacy-based research, a form of participatory action research and community-engaged research. Inclusion, reciprocity, asset-based approaches to research and practice are discussed as foundation concepts. When and why to use advocacy-based research and the process characteristics of an advocacy-based research approach are discussed. The content of the chapter not only articulates the steps needed but also draws attention to process-oriented questions that can and should help direct a collaborative advocacy-based research study. The steps and the internal process of a researcher are highlighted in a case example that illustrates sample research questions, definition of purpose and focus, design of intervention, implementation, analysis and interpretation, and evaluation of the collaborative process.
