Join the Center for Community Health Partnership & Research for the second event in a four-part series of Collaborative Café discussions on health equity and research. Panelists will discuss the importance of focusing on equity while conducting research.
Research intended to help communities too often becomes harmful through inadequate planning, inappropriate use of data, and lack of community input. This session focuses on making the process of conducting research, from study design to dissemination, equitable for participants and communities. Panelists will discuss:
- Why equity should be a primary focus when designing and conducting research
- How researchers can use theory and methodology to ensure equity from the very beginning
- Tools researchers can use to ensure equity within their research;
- Appropriately understanding and using data
- Successes and lessons learned from panelists’ own research
The Collaborative for Community-Centered Conversations — “Collaborative Café” — is hosted by the Center for Community Health Partnership & Research at the Institute for Public Health and Institute of Clinical & Translational Sciences. Collaborative Café offers opportunities for researchers and community partners to network, share experiences, and learn from each other.
