The role of values in the design of community interventions is discussed. It is argued that participation in the design of community interventions by community members and professional staff associated with the problem of interest is congruent with the values of community psychology. The application and empirical support for the use of five methods for eliciting participation are evaluated. A model of intervention design consisting of seven stages is provided to demonstrate the relative efficacy of participation.
