Communication Interactions, Needs, and Preferences During Clinical Encounters of African American Parent–Child Dyads
Relative predictive value of sociodemographic factors for chronic diseases among All of Us participants
Age was the best predictor for the assessed chronic diseases, but the relative predictive value of income, education, health insurance, PCP status, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation was highly variable across health conditions. Identifying the sociodemographic groups with the largest disparities in a specific disease can guide future interventions to promote health equity
Innovation in Large-Scale Research Programs
PROBLEM: Despite the successes of community-engaged research in advancing research relevance and health equity for diverse communities, the impact of this research has been limited to local and regional programs. Engaging diverse community voices in large-scale, national research programs represents a paradigm shift in biomedical research. Still, disconnects remain between research decision makers and the communities they serve, impeding richer, …
Adapting a conceptual framework to engage diverse stakeholders in genomic/precision medicine research
INTRODUCTION: Genomic/precision medicine offers a remarkable opportunity to improve health and address health disparities. Genomic medicine is the study of genes and their interaction with health. Precision medicine is an approach to disease prevention and treatment that considers individual variability in genes, environment and lifestyle. Conclusions from studies lacking diversity may hinder generalizability as genomic variation occurs within an…
Recognizing Cross-Institutional Fiscal and Administrative Barriers and Facilitators to Conducting Community-Engaged Clinical and Translational Research
PURPOSE: This qualitative study examined fiscal and administrative (i.e., pre- and post-award grants process) barriers and facilitators to community-engaged research among stakeholders across 4 Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) institutions. METHOD: A purposive sample of 24 key informants from 3 stakeholder groups-community partners, academic researchers, and research administrators-from the CTSA institutions at the University of N…
Barriers and facilitators to dissemination and adoption of precision medicine among Hispanics/Latinos
Culturally-and linguistically-tailored, low-literacy educational material about PM should be created in English and Spanish. Future research should examine provider-level and system-level barriers and facilitators to implementation and adoption of PM among Hispanic/Latino patients
Formative research to design a culturally-appropriate cancer clinical trial education program to increase participation of African American and Latino communities
Incorporating multiple community engagement approaches into formative research processes can facilitate the inclusion of multiple community perspectives and enhance the cultural-appropriateness of the programs designed to promote cancer clinical trial participation among African Americans and Latinos
Can Precision Medicine Actually Help People Like Me? African American and Hispanic Perspectives on the Benefits and Barriers of Precision Medicine
While these groups believed precision medicine might yield benefits for health outcomes, they are also skeptical about whether African Americans and Hispanics would actually benefit from precision medicine given current structural limitations and disparities in health care access and quality
A taxonomy of impacts on clinical and translational research from community stakeholder engagement
BACKGROUND: Community engagement is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in clinical and translational research; however, the impact of engagement is not fully understood. No standard nomenclature yet exists to clearly define how research changes when community stakeholders are engaged across the research spectrum. This severely limits our ability to assess the value of community engagement in research. To address this gap, we developed a t…

Community Experiences and Perceptions of Clinical and Translational Research and Researchers
Engaging communities in research is increasingly recognized as critical to translation of research into improved health outcomes. Our objective was to understand community stakeholders' perspectives on researchers, academic institutions, and how community is valued in research. A 45-item survey assessing experiences and perceptions of research (trust, community value, equity, researcher preparedness, indicators of successful engagement) was distr…
Effective Engagement Requires Trust and Being Trustworthy
Trust is essential to building and maintaining mutually respectful relationships, especially partnerships involving patients or community stakeholders and researchers, in which there is often an inherent imbalance of power. Patients and community members who are stakeholders in the design and conduct of health research rely on researchers’ honesty and willingness to protect them from harm. Although human research protections are in place for rese…
A Multilevel Approach to Stakeholder Engagement in the Formulation of a Clinical Data Research Network
OBJECTIVES: To ensure meaningful engagement of stakeholders (patients, clinicians, and communities) in developing the Mid-South Clinical Data Research Network (MS-CDRN), we implemented a comprehensive, multilevel approach: (1) identify barriers to involving stakeholders in governance, network design, and implementation; (2) engage stakeholders in priority setting and research topic generation; (3) develop strategies to fully integrate stakeholder…
A Community-Based Collaborative Care Model to Improve Functional Health in Underserved Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Program findings may serve as a basis for the development of a randomized, controlled study to provide empirical evidence of intervention efficacy. Such findings may help inform the development of community-based programs to identify vulnerable older adults and provide vital preventative care to decrease frailty and excess disability
Communicating Results of Community-Based Participatory Research
had been working in conjunction with the New Hope Church and Grass Blade Youth Community Center to study the link between incarceration and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates in the Park neighborhood. The findings were striking in the physicians' minds, revealing that far greater numbers of the community members than expected had histories of incarceration and STIs. The physicians were concerned because they had worked hard to convince th…
