Project Type(s):
Population Health/Implementation, Training
Meaningful partnerships between community and academic/public health co-researchers are needed to address community mental health, wellbeing, and health disparities. Partnerships should center the strengths, needs, and interests of communities on the communities’ terms while building relationships on trust and shared power.
UW researchers in partnership with the Community Health Board Coalition (CHBC) have developed an initial draft of a Community-Centered Approaches to Research and Evaluation (CCARE) Toolkit to guide academic, public health, and community researchers in partnering to act on emerging community data during times of crisis and beyond. As a part of this work, we are striving to better understand and support community health priorities.
