Research Design:
- Building and maintaining trust in a community in Christopher et al (2008):
- Christopher, S., Watts, V., McCormick, A. K. H. G., & Young, S. (2008). Building and maintaining trust in a community-based participatory research partnership. American Journal of Public Health, 98(8), 1398-1406. http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.2007.125757
- Resources from public health and social sciences:
- The review of community based participatory research found in Israel et al (1998).
- Discussion of the relationship between community based participatory research and policy in Cacari-Stone et al (2014).
- Lessons from other arms of ecology, including marine policy (e.g. Mackinson et al 2011) and discussion of experience on private rural property in Hilty and Merenlender (2003).

Sample Design:
- Resources from public health explicitly deal with complex sample designs, sampling frames, and non-responses:
