Community-based research (CBR) is rapidly gaining recognitions as an important tool in addressing complex environmental, health and social problems. CBR attempts to marry community development with knowledge generation. However, little is known about the Canadian CBR context. This paper reports on the analysis of an element within a web-based survey to investigate the status of CBR in Canada. The survey included 25 questions. This paper focuses on responses to one open-ended question (Q20): ‘If there was one thing you could change about [your last CBR] project, what would it be?’ A content analysis approach guided analysis and responses were coded into main theme and subthemes. Our collective reflections offer other CBR practitioners an opportunity to more effectively plan future partnerships.
