This paper describes the application of a CBPR framework to inform a culturally situated, ecological based, multi-level tobacco cessation intervention in public housing neighborhoods. During this decade-long intervention project, community and academic partners used the CBPR framework to guide problem identification, planning and feasibility testing, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination. Successes and challenges of the prevention intervention and partnership are discussed. Implications for other CBPR partnerships are discussed.
