Community Engagement Studio as a Strategic Tool for Tailoring a Survey on Dental Care Access Among Adolescents
CE Studios can positively impact the design of recruitment materials, survey materials, and question structures in community-focused dental health research
Parents’ Experiences and Perceptions of Healthcare Transition in Adolescents with Asthma
Adolescence marks a significant transition from pediatric to adult healthcare, and parents play critical roles in supporting their adolescents with chronic conditions through this process. However, little is known about parents' experiences, perceptions, and needs during this healthcare transition. This qualitative study explores the experiences and perceptions of parents regarding the care transition of their 16-17-year-old adolescents with asth…
A Novel Process to Recruit and Select Community Partners for a Hybrid Implementation-Effectiveness Study
An RFP process is familiar to many community organizations that compete for grant funding but may not have prior research experience. This process streamlined recruitment timelines, increased diversity, and cultivated community among organizations. It may also improve research transparency, study completion, and intervention fidelity
Are Mid to Late Adolescents with Asthma Ready for Transition of Care? A Qualitative Study
This qualitative descriptive study explores experiences and perspectives of mid-to-late adolescents about growing up with asthma, and the roles of parents and providers as they transition. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit and enroll adolescents aged 16-20 years with asthma. Forty-one adolescents participated in a focus group or individual interview, and content analysis was conducted to analyze the data. The mean age of participants was 17…
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Research-Tested Mobile Produce Market Model Designed to Improve Diet in Under-Resourced Communities
Mobile produce markets are increasingly popular retail vendors used for providing access to fresh fruits and vegetables (F&V) in under-resourced communities; however, evaluation is limited due to design and implementation challenges. This protocol presents the original design of a randomized control trial aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the evidence-based Veggie Van (VV) mobile market model. Nine US community partner organizations were as…
Operational challenges that may affect implementation of evidence-based mobile market interventions
Common and persistent challenges ought to be addressed to ensure and enhance the positive public health impacts of mobile produce markets. Contextual factors, particularly organizational factors, that impact implementation should also be considered when implementing an evidence-based intervention at a mobile market. Further research is needed to determine which innovative solutions are the most effective in mitigating challenges, improving implem…
A Case Study of Community Involvement Influence on Policy Decisions
The Buffalo Lupus Project was a community-university partnership that investigated associations between exposure to a local waste site and high rates of lupus and other autoimmune diseases. The partnership's major accomplishment was successful advocacy for containment and clean-up of the site. As a result of community education, the remediation plan suggested by the community was adopted. Additionally, when a local childhood lead poisoning testin…
Lessons Learned from the Evolution of an Academic Community Partnership
This case study demonstrates how federal funding raises the bar for academic-community partnerships and how challenges can be worked through, particularly if the partnership embraces the key principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR). Recommendations have been applied successfully to future initiatives
A Community–Academic Partnership to Adapt a Curriculum for People With Serious Mental Illnesses and Diabetes
The adaptations made to the DPP, and the process through which the modifications were made, may be used by physicians, mental health practitioners, and health educators to engage individuals confronting self-management of diabetes and mental illness
Reflections on Lupus and the Environment in an Urban African American Community
Exposure to environmental hazards is hypothesized to play an important role in the development of autoimmune diseases such as lupus. The Buffalo Lupus Project examined the relationship between a high incidence of disease and exposure to a toxic waste site in a poor, urban minority neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, U.S.A. The purpose of this study is to explore patients' experiences and concerns with their living environment and their perceptions…
The Community-Driven Approach to Environmental Exposures
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a mechanism to improve environmental quality in communities primarily inhabited by minorities or low income families. A collaborative partnership between the University at Buffalo and the Toxic Waste Lupus Coalition was formed to investigate the high prevalence of lupus in the area and whether cases of disease were linked to chemicals found at a nearby New York State Superfund site in East Buffalo.…
