The Rural Appalachian Cancer Demonstration Program (RACDP) was supported to explore, identify, document and describe cancer disparities in the three-state Appalachian regions of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. To accomplish this charge, researchers were engaged from multiple institutions. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used. This overview summarizes how the overall program design and many of the individual studies followed the principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR). Each of the nine CBPR principles is summarized and examples cited from RACDP studies.
