We’re recognizing researchers who are pursuing health equity by working with communities. We spoke with Dr. Ricky Camplain, Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington. In this conversation, Dr. Camplain discusses how she uses community-engaged research methods in her work as an epidemiologist with incarcerated people of American Indian and Alaska Native heritage.

Community-engaged research thrives on the inclusion of local voices. West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine's (WVSOM) Center for Rural and Community Health (CRCH) exemplifies this approach and has a wealth of experience building partnerships by addressing community needs, fostering relationships, and supporting community-led projects. In collaboration with WVSOM, the Community Engagement Alliance Consultative Resource (CEACR) produced a fact sheet based on 2 WVSOM case studies that illustrate effective community-centered practices. "Spreading the word about these programs aligns perfectly with CEACR's mission to promote best practices in community-engaged research," said Emily Finley, M.P.H. One case study tells the story of how WVSOM CRCH offered its space, hosted task force meetings, and served as a connector for community resources in response to a deadly flood in West Virginia. By providing resources and actively responding to community needs, the WVSOM built a strong foundation of trust and reciprocity with community members, which can support future community-engaged research. This new fact sheet offers expert recommendations based on real-life experiences, guiding researchers in their community-engaged projects.

As Asian American (AA) and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (NHPI) populations have grown, it has become more and more clear that the AA and NHPI populations are far from a monolith. They differ in socioeconomic status, health status, educational attainment, labor force characteristics, and many other ways. This underscores the need for disaggregated AA and NHPI data — that is, data by individual AA and NHPI populations. In collaboration with AAPI Data, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders released a fact sheet that features disaggregated data for these communities on key indicators like educational attainment, poverty, and housing. Download the fact sheet and learn more about the importance of data disaggregation: https://bit.ly/3CwBgeQ

Unregulated solid waste dump sites release gases and leaks that significantly impact the environment and people, especially those closest to the flames. Researchers at The University of New Mexico’s Center for Native Environmental Health Equity Research and their community and university partners are testing and cleaning up unregulated solid waste dumping sites. In the latest NIMHD Insights Blog, see what they’re looking for and how their efforts help the environment and nearby Tribal Nations. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3ZloQ2s #NIMHDInsights

Geography and culture can influence chronic diseases. In the rural South, Drs. Jacob Warren and Bryant Smalley found that people with diabetes or high blood pressure who could not afford medication were more likely to experience depression.? ? The study emphasizes the need to supplement support for rural low-income communities to further alleviate gaps in care. Dr. Smalley says, “For rural patients in particular, we really do have to look at additional ways to address these issues.”? ?

How do racism and cultural barriers contribute to increased mental distress in African American and Hispanic individuals with Alzheimer’s disease? Researchers explore this question, finding that African American and Hispanic individuals experiencing depression and anxiety are less likely to be diagnosed with and treated for Alzheimer’s disease compared to their White counterparts.
