CBE uses a rigorous and community-led approach to data and research, working closely with community members to identify research questions, gather data, and analyze findings. This approach is grounded in the principles of environmental justice, which prioritize the perspectives and experiences of impact communities in both the research and decision-making process.
The CBE monitors the credibility of the information it uses and circulates with a variety of strategies, including; peer review from experts in relevant fields to ensure the accuracy and validity of findings, community reviews that involve community members in all stages of the research process, and of course, collaborative work with academic and research institutions to use rigorous and credible methods of study as well as have them disseminated to relevant audiences.
