Community Advisory Board Members Speak Out
INTRODUCTION: Incorporating the knowledge of people who use/have used drugs into academic research presents the possibility of new ways of understanding drug use, increasing opportunities for equitable outcomes. Community Advisory Boards (CAB) are part of the community-engaged research continuum offering community members clearly defined roles and a structure to advise academic researchers. Acting in an advisory capacity, CAB members have a platf…
A Feasibility Study of the Alliance for Representative Clinical Trials (ARC)
Introduction: Most patients receive care in community settings. However, few community clinicians serve as clinical trial investigators. This limits how many underrepresented patients can take part. The National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) created the Alliance for Representative Clinical Trials (ARC) to support community clinicians in building research capacity while delivering patient care. Methods: NMQF conducted an early-stage feasibility st…
Evaluating the Process of Patient Engagement
BACKGROUND: Patient engagement is associated with improved care quality, better health outcomes, increased trust and satisfaction, and reduced costs. Patient engagement is recommended in cancer care. Patient advisory groups (PAGs) are a commonly used approach for engaging patients. However, more evidence is needed to understand how effectively PAGs support meaningful engagement, what factors shape that engagement, and how their contributions alig…
Pre-pregnancy, Pregnancy, and Postpartum Health and Social Concerns of Haitian Immigrants
The effectiveness of the communities that Heal intervention on reducing non-fatal opioid overdoses
Work Really Is Being Done and It's Very Worthwhile
Background: The federally-funded four-state HEALing Communities Study (HCS) aims to reduce fatal opioid overdoses. Each state was required to establish a Community Advisory Board (CAB). CABs have the potential to shape research priorities, ensuring relevance to affected communities. Objectives: Describe personal and professional benefits of Massachusetts HCS CAB participation. Discuss strategies that promote HCS-MA CAB member benefits. Methods: N…
The Process and Cost of Developing a Community Advisory Board Focused on Opioid Overdose Deaths
Background: We describe the Community Advisory Board (CAB) development and costing processes employed by The Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEALing) Communities Study, Massachusetts (HCS-MA). The actual process and costs associated with establishing a CAB representative of people who use drugs have not been published. Methods: A participatory process was used to identify and recruit CAB members. Health economics costing strategies were used …
Strategies for Recruiting a Diverse Postpartum Survey Sample
Long Covid impacts
There is a need for multilingual, accessible information about Long COVID symptoms, improved outreach and healthcare delivery, and increased ease of enrollment in long-term disability and economic support programs
Primary Care After Pregnancy Survey
Women's Reactions to Breast Density Information Vary by Sociodemographic Characteristics
Notes from the field
Medical mistrust among the public was amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic due to racial and social inequities in infection rates and misinformation in the media. In Boston, two initiatives were launched by the Boston University Clinical Translational Science Institute (BU CTSI), Boston Medical Center (BMC), community health centers (CHCs), and community organizations to establish longitudinal and authentic partnerships with community-research …
Advancing Health Equity through Inclusive and Equitable Publication Practices at Women's Health Issues
Communicating to Engage
PROBLEM: The potential for community-engaged research to address health inequity requires deliberate effort to create trusting and equitable community-academic partnerships. A lack of evidence-based opportunities for cultivating such partnerships remains a barrier. APPROACH: In 2017 and 2018, the authors designed, facilitated, and evaluated a mixed stakeholder training, Communicating to Engage, at 2 urban academic medical centers involved in the …
Connecting Community to Research
Over 1 year, we trained 100 community members and almost all participants felt that the objectives of the training program were met and the information was relevant. More than 50% of the participants took advantage of partnership opportunities with local researchers. A toolkit was designed and disseminated to support others to replicate the program. We demonstrated that an interactive training curriculum designed with a community-engaged pedagogy…
Risk assessment and clinical decision making for colorectal cancer screening
BACKGROUND: Shared decision making (SDM) related to test preference has been advocated as a potentially effective strategy for increasing adherence to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, yet primary care providers (PCPs) are often reluctant to comply with patient preferences if they differ from their own. Risk stratification advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) provides a rational strategy for reconciling these differences. OBJECTIVE: To assess the…
Beliefs About Anal Cancer among HIV-Infected Women
Barriers Reported Among Patients with Breast and Cervical Abnormalities in the Patient Navigation Research Program
What Do Public Housing Residents Think About Their Health
Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education, and Action - Volume 7, Issue 1, Spring 2013
What Do Public Housing Residents Say About Their Health
Multiple data collection methods can yield important data about community health priorities and barriers; areas of difference and similarity between methods are especially useful in guiding health promotion efforts and opportunities
Connecting Boston's Public Housing Developments to Community Health Centers
We found a mismatch in readiness to address community health priorities. Although health centers have programs to address health issues, community awareness of programs is limited and barriers to engaging in care persist. The model provided a useful tool for engaging communities into shared program planning
The Influence of Black Race on Treatment and Mortality for Early-Stage Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND: Black Americans have higher mortality from breast cancer than white Americans. This study explores the influence of socioeconomic factors and black race on treatment and mortality for early-stage breast cancer. METHODS: A cohort of 21,848 female black and white, non-Hispanic subjects from the Massachusetts Cancer Registry diagnosed with stage I or II breast cancer between 1999-2004 was studied. Subjects with tumors larger than 5 cm we…
Disclosing intimate partner violence to health care clinicians - What a difference the setting makes
While no harms resulted from IPV disclosure, survivor satisfaction with disclosure is shaped by the setting of the encounter. Clinicians should aim to build a therapeutic relationship with IPV survivors that empowers and educates patients and does not demand disclosure
The Role of Numeracy on Cancer Screening Among Urban Women
Predictors of Aggressive Therapy for Nonmetastatic Prostate Carcinoma in Massachusetts From 1998 to 2002
BACKGROUND: Most studies have found that black men are less likely to receive aggressive therapy for nonmetastatic prostate cancer, even after controlling for covariates. However, previous studies have not accounted for the clustering of outcomes by facility. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the proportions of black and white men receiving aggressive therapy for newly diagnosed nonmetastatic prostate cancer between 1998 and 2002, accounting for th…
