How can community-based participatory research improve research outcomes and impact? “This approach ensures that research—particularly around social and structural determinants of health—centers the lived experiences of those affected by the gaps we seek to address, and that research outcomes are meaningful, relevant, and considerate of community priorities," said Hillary Edwards, PhD, MPH, keynote speaker at Community-Based Participatory Research Day.

How can we more meaningfully and equitably engage diverse communities in our research? A recent Collaborative event co-hosted with Sarah Switzer from the Centre for Community Based Research (CCBR) focused on advancing equity-centered approaches in aging research. The event was an interactive, collaborative effort, with contributions from older adult partners, researchers, trainees, health professionals, and community members showcasing the power of partnership to inspire change in health research.

Webinar: The Landscape of Local Health Department Performance Improvement Plans July 10, 1-2pm EST Register Here: https://lnkd.in/ggqbChK8 Local health departments, especially those seeking national accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board, regularly develop and update strategic plans, community health improvement plans and quality improvement plans. Motivated by health department interest, NACCHO collaborated with SUHI to review and analyze nearly 100 plans from a sample of 31 local health departments. In this webinar, NACCHO and SUHI discuss key trends in the plans’ goals, priorities, and strategies. They will also explore how plan elements align or differ across local health departments that vary by region, size, and other contexts. Complete findings will be shared in a public report this summer. #publichealth #SUHIChicago #PHAB

Delivering Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) is a crucial step in addressing health disparities. Effective, equitable, and respectful care and services that are responsive to diverse cultural health beliefs and practices, preferred languages, economic and environmental circumstances, and health literacy levels are essential to close the gap in health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority populations. Check out this OMH initiative, ThinkCulturalHealth, which provides healthcare professionals with information, continuing education opportunities, and resources to learn about and implement CLAS and the National CLAS Standards!? #atwhealth #ppiconline #healthequity #qualityimprovement #healthcaretransformation #patientengagement

Announcing the publication of a new open-access peer-reviewed article in Frontiers in Public Health: "Population health and community: brokering the two through art and community engagement." It represents a collaborative effort between the IAM Lab and colleagues from Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Health System. The arts and aesthetic experiences have long served as powerful tools for fostering relationships between diverse groups in efforts to build camaraderie, trust, and engagement. Cultivating collaborations between health systems and communities requires strategies to build these connections. Developing meaningful community engagement for health promotion requires consideration of several key factors, including homophily, balance, and transitivity. The arts can act as a bridge in these relationships, enabling healthcare systems to engage more effectively with diverse social networks and helping to ensure effective, bidirectional partnerships that leverage public health insights and resources.

As I first learned from Riq Parra and Tandi Paugh at the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Air Force Research Laboratory and later was reinforced during my time working with Rajesh Naik and Ryan Kramer at Mined XAI, before we can leverage AI and machine learning models ?? to find hidden insights in data, we first have to clean?? and curate it.?While “cleaning” may not sound like that big of a deal, those who routinely work with #bigdata know it is. At LymeAlert, we have ambitious goals ?? . We want to go beyond just meeting the challenge of letting people know when they have been potentially exposed to #Lymedisease through a tick bite. We intend to use AI to better understand how Lyme disease is spreading and help #publichealth organizations take proactive measures. Olivia's work collecting, cleaning, and curating open-source tick surveillance data from multiple sources in multiple formats is integral to these goals. We are so pleased to have her and her bioinformatics expertise on the team ?? ! #lymedisease #lymealert #epidemiology #bioinformatics #MITSloan #AIinHealth #crushatick #biotech #medtech

https://lnkd.in/gx5a3ACM National Minority Health Month is here. This year's theme is "Be the Source for Better Health: Improving Health Outcomes Through Our Cultures, Communities, and Connections." This resonates deeply with our mission at IMA Clinical Research. We understand that the unique environments, cultures, histories, and circumstances of racial and ethnic minority populations impact health. Read our latest blog to learn about some initiatives that helped us champion diversity in clinical research. #MinorityHealthMonth #ClinicalResearch #DiversityInResearch
