Various models of community research have been employed to assess community health needs and address community health problems. Infant mortality remains a problem in urban minority communities throughout the United States. This article compares various community research models with a three-tiered community involvement model used in Washington, D.C., an urban, predominantly African American community with one of the worst rates of infant mortality in the nation. The research design incorporated community input throughout the research design process, resulting in a better understanding of issues and problems associated with infant mortality within the community setting. The use of the model improved community participation in the research process, facilitating improved health initiatives.
