Factors associated with applying to graduate/professional degrees for students engaged in undergraduate research experiences at minority serving institutions
Introduction: This study investigates the impact of undergraduate research experiences on applications to graduate and professional programs, particularly for underrepresented minority students at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). Methods: The study analyzes data collected at 10 MSIs participating in the NIH BUILD program to understand the relationship between research participation (in formal programs vs. informal research), student demograp…
From Dialogue to Action
INTRODUCTION: Clinical research is a cornerstone to medical innovation, yet Black/African American and Latino populations are underrepresented in clinical research, contributing to poorer health outcomes. OBJECTIVE: This study examined perspectives on clinical research recruitment and engagement among historically underrepresented populations. METHODS: Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 59 community members and leaders from Baltim…
Use of Electronic and Conventional Cigarettes and Self-Rated Mental Health in High School Students
Background: Youth tobacco use remains a significant public health concern, particularly in urban communities disproportionately burdened by health disparities. In Baltimore City, where tobacco-related harms are elevated, understanding the relationship between tobacco use-including e-cigarettes-and mental health among high school students is essential for guiding equitable prevention and cessation strategies. The CEASE (Communities Engaged and Adv…
Electronic and Conventional Cigarette Use and Academic Achievement Among Predominantly Low-Income Black High School Students
Lower academic achievement was consistently associated with higher odds of tobacco use among predominantly Black adolescents. Academic performance may help identify youth at higher risk of tobacco use and guide school-based prevention and intervention strategies in similar urban settings
Monday-Enhanced Cease Program for Underserved Ethnic Minorities
Peer mentoring for smoking cessation in public housing
Introduction Tobacco use disproportionately affects low-income African American communities. The recent public housing smoke-free policy has increased the demand for effective smoking cessation services and programs in such settings. Methods This mixed-method pilot study explored feasibility and potential impact of a peer-mentoring program for smoking cessation in a public housing unit. The quantitative study used a quasi-experimental design whil…
Black Americans’ Diminished Return of Educational Attainment on Tobacco Use in Baltimore City
Lessons learned to improve Covid-19 response in communities with greatest socio-economic vulnerabilities
This research highlights critical insights gained related to the experiences of vulnerable populations and suggests ways forward to address challenges faced during the emergency response by providing recommendations for policy and program changes. Furthermore, the findings will help better prepare vulnerable communities for public health emergencies and build more community resilience
Can everyone hear me? Reflections on the use of global online workshops for promoting inclusive knowledge generation
Online research methods have risen in popularity over recent decades, particularly in the wake of COVID-19. We conducted five online workshops capturing the experiences of participatory health researchers in relation to power, as part of a collaborative project to develop global knowledge systems on power in participatory health research. These workshops included predominantly academic researchers working in 24 countries across Africa, Asia, Euro…
An Innovative Biomedical Research Training Model
Much is told regarding the need for greater diversity in the biomedical research workforce in terms of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. However, there are few evidence-based models that are tested and can have significant effects in this regard. Thus, there is a need for development and evaluation of innovative models that may help train a more diverse biomedical research workforce. In this study, we provided the rationale, conceptual m…
Building Capacity for Community-Academia Research Partnerships by Establishing a Physical Infrastructure for Community Engagement
Research partnerships between universities and communities following the principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR) have the potential to eliminate cycles of health disparities. The purpose of this article is to describe the process of establishing a community-campus network with a distinct mission and vision of developing trusting and successful research partnerships that are sustained and effective. In 2019, Morgan CARES was es…
Children and adolescents' voices and the implications for ethical research
A discussion on the ethical context and barriers to include children's voices in research and clarify the role of Research Ethic Committees. Twenty-one researchers from eight countries participated in two focus groups and ten individual in-depth interviews. The results highlight the need for reforming ethical regulations to facilitate greater and more meaningful participation of children and adolescent in research. This reform, however, requires …
‘You want to deal with power while riding on power’
INTRODUCTION: Power relations permeate research partnerships and compromise the ability of participatory research approaches to bring about transformational and sustainable change. This study aimed to explore how participatory health researchers engaged in co-production research perceive and experience 'power', and how it is discussed and addressed within the context of research partnerships. METHODS: Five online workshops were carried out with p…
Community Engagement Practices at Research Centers in U.S. Minority Institutions
This paper details U.S. Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) Community Engagement Cores (CECs): (1) unique and cross-cutting components, focus areas, specific aims, and target populations; and (2) approaches utilized to build or sustain trust towards community participation in research. A mixed-method data collection approach was employed for this cross-sectional study of current or previously funded RCMIs. A total of 18 of the 25 ins…
