| Aim: Community-Based Research (CBR) has become a prominent form of HIV/AIDS research across populations. While concurrently ethical guidelines for conducting CBR have proliferated, few publications address CBR with people who use drugs. Our aims were (a) to describe best practices and challenges when conducting CBR with people who use drugs and (b) to produce a community-friendly resource for people who use drugs regarding their rights as participants in CBR studies. | ||||
| Method / Issue: We conducted peer-reviewed and grey literature searches for substance use, CBR, and ethics. The thematic summaries from the scoping review and 15 consultations with people who use drugs informed the development of the community resource. | ||||
| Results / Comments: Five overarching themes were found in the literature: participant compensation the perspectives of people who use drugs on CBR responsible conduct of CBR capacity building and pragmatic issues regarding inclusion within CBR projects. | ||||
| Discussion: This scoping review and community resource complement recent social sciences and humanities research focused on the experiences of peer researchers in CBR. We recommend engagement and development of pragmatic ethical guidelines for researchers conducting CBR or other types of research with diverse communities of people who use drugs. | ||||
