Community Involvement
Meaningful community participation is essential to our lab. For each of our research projects, we convene a community advisory board (CAB) to ensure that our work reflects the insights of and is responsive to the needs of the communities in which we work. Our CABs are comprised of a broad range of local stakeholders who provide valuable input into all stages of our research. Together, we brainstorm about the implications of study findings and generate ideas for further research and for intervention development. If you are interested in being part of a CAB on future projects, let us know.
