Approach Matters: Community-Driven Research as a Path to Health Equity
With Caroline Rucah, Laura Jadwin-Cakmak, Adélaïde Nieguitsila, Rebecca Hardin, and Gary Harper
Can we be more confident that our research processes truly improve health and equity?
Across the spectrum of research approaches that seek to involve communities, not all are alike.
When researchers incorporate broad community participation—especially when they emphasize conversation and community voices—they often find their projects are not only more equitable but more successful. Community members offer critical insight into approaches and interventions that will work best in local contexts. With:
