Three partnerships between the University of Campinas, community, and pubLic health care services are discussed in this article. A theoretical framework underpins the critical reviews of their accomplishments following criteria proposed by scholars of community-university partnerships and community-based participatory research.

OBJECTIVE: Identify patterns in physician-patient com- munication regarding suicide to inform QI interventions. DESIGN: Qualitative thematic analysis of video-taped clinical encounters in which suicide was discussed. PARTICIPANTS: Adult primary care patients (n=385) 65 years and older and their primary care physicians. RESULTS: Mental health was discussed in 22% of encounters (n=85), with …
