Abstract:Background: People who are trans and gender diverse (PTGD) are underserved regarding healthcare in Canada, including the province of Saskatchewan.Objectives: Design and conduct a research project that will address immediate and pressing community-identified needs related to improving access to healthcare for PTGD in Saskatchewan.Methods: A multidisciplinary, community-based collaboration was established to address the self-identified obstacles to accessing healthcare of PTGD in Saskatchewan. This resulted in a pilot study creating and evaluating a healthcare navigation program.Lessons Learned: The project led to four key lessons: 1) prioritizing team building and the well-being of team members; 2) committing to community-based participatory approaches from the outset; 3) taking language seriously; and 4) acknowledging and addressing power imbalances in our team.Conclusions: The lessons we learned have enabled us to sustain a large, diverse, research team that centers the experience of PTGD in Saskatchewan and is responsive to community need.

Abstract:Background: This article details community engagement, design, and implementation strategies for the Raices-Xidid-Roots (RXR) Academy. RXR provided a linguistically accessible and culturally relevant curriculum to residents of Spanish and Somali-speaking immigrant, asylee, and refugee backgrounds.Objectives: This study examined the implementation of the RXR program, including participation and adjustments needed to foster participant engagement and active voice, and explored participant actions to address self-identified aspirations as part of participation. RXR's goal was to empower Morgan County, Colorado, Spanish- and Somalispeaking cohorts of residents from immigrant, asylee, and refugee backgrounds such that they could autonomously plan, create, and sustain programs and organizations to meet their community needs.Methods: The observational study design included process and implementation evaluative approaches, including interview, project team meeting debriefings, and course organizer reflections, to identify and address implementation challenges, learn how the program met participants' needs, and understand keys to maintaining participant engagement.Results: Cultural adaptation of the content was key to maintaining consistent participant engagement, including delivering programming in participant preferred languages and tailoring curriculum to participant cultural practices. Participants indicated that language barriers had previously prevented them from accessing the content provided by the program's curriculum. Adaptations included adjusting meeting logistics, participant compensation, and unit timing. The Two RXR Academy cohorts developed initiatives that addressed community-identified needs.Lessons Learned: Three RXR design elements supported participant engagement and development of community power: 1) language access beyond the language justice model by providing programming in the participants' preferred language, 2) cultural adaptation of programming, and 3) community ownership and active voiceConclusions: The RXR program provided opportunities for skill development among Morgan County's non-native English-speaking residents and led to the design and implementation of resident-driven projects.

Abstract:The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has created numerous challenges for many community-based organizations to sustain delivery of services and programs. This paper offers perspectives from leadership of three small community-based organizations serving diverse populations in the Hartford, Connecticut, region on how they were impacted and responded to disruptions during the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Community-based organizations' commitment to the populations they serve and agility with regard to programming, staffing, and finances were highlighted as key to their resilience, enabling them to serve their clients with stability. The ability to collect information on the impact of the pandemic on clients supported by a well-established, long-term partnership with researchers at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and Institute for Community Research facilitated their making data-driven decisions on how to best allocate limited resources. The lessons learned about organizational challenges and resilience may be applicable to future public health emergencies.

Abstract:Background: Home visiting (HV) has demonstrated positive impacts across family well-being domains. Home visitors receive training in HV model requirements as well as to develop knowledge and various skills. Despite growth in HV research, we are not aware of existing training or required competencies in research design, research methods, or dissemination of research findings for home visitors.Objectives: Via ongoing collaboration with an Advisory Board of key HV stakeholders, we developed a three-module online training that incorporated examples from HV research and practice to address the gap in research training for home visitors and to promote home visitors' engagement as research stakeholders.Methods: A convenience sample of home visitors (n = 176) was surveyed on research knowledge, research self-efficacy, and priority training topics, with results used to create a beta version of the training completed by six home visitors. Home visitor feedback on the beta version, coupled with Advisory Board recommendations, led to creation of the final online training. Forty home visitors viewed the final training and completed pre- and post-training surveys to assess changes in research knowledge and self-efficacy. Twelve home visitors also completed a semi-structured qualitative interview. Home visitors demonstrated improvements in research knowledge and self-efficacy and found the training easy to understand and useful.Conclusions: Guidance from stakeholders led to development of an online training that was effective in improving home visitors' research knowledge and self-efficacy. This training can be used by HV researchers and practitioners as a tool to promote home visitors' active engagement as stakeholders in research.

Abstract:Background: Since 2016, Changing Health through Advocacy & eMPloyment In Our NeighborhoodS (CHAMPIONS) has utilized in-person programming to engage high school students from underserved Chicago communities in health advocacy education and exposure to health professional careers.Objective: Describe outcomes after CHAMPIONS' shift from in-person to remote programming during the corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Methods: The Summer 2020 remote program consisted of four main activities: 1) didactic public health curriculum, 2) phone calls to COVID-19 patients, 3) COVID-19 community health projects, and 4) health professional speaker series. Program evaluation consisted of pre-/post-program surveys and focus groups.Results: Participants were very satisfied with CHAMPIONS and reported increased healthy habits, self-efficacy, and knowledge. "First-hand experiences" increased equivalently or more for the remote compared to in-person cohorts.Conclusions: The remote CHAMPIONS program maximized positive effects for participants. Strengths and lessons learned may be used in future enrichment programs to improve accessibility and exposure for underserved students.

Abstract: Background: Social capital is increasingly recognized as a key component of adolescent development, providing important opportunities to grow and strengthen their social networks while increasing access to resources such as jobs and social support. Objectives: This study explored how youth-serving organizations (YSOs) across California address social capital development and assessed need for a social capital curriculum or measurement tools. Methods: The sample for this study was drawn from the 2019 IRS Business Master File from the National Center for Charitable Statistics Data Archive . We contacted a random sample of 169 California YSOs and implemented a 15-item survey to capture organizational perspectives on the importance of social capital, tools to measure this construct, and the use of programming related to social capital. Results: Among 41 YSOs completing the survey, only 24 (59%) had heard of the term "social capital," but when the term was described, 88% felt it was a highly important asset for youth. Thirty YSOs (73%) provided programming designed to promote social capital. Most respondents (68%) said being able to measure social capital would be very important and nearly all said they would be interested in adopting a tested social capital curriculum. Conclusions: Strong interest from YSOs for additional social capital tools highlights the need for additional work in this area. With support, YSOs can connect young people to institutions and influencers significantly outside of normal social circles, thus creating an increasingly sustainable and diverse range of resources available to youth as they navigate life milestones.

Abstract:Background: Reducing cancer health disparities in Asian Americans requires orchestrated efforts and partnerships.Objectives: To describe the approach used by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, HOPE Clinic, and Asian American organizations to understand and engage Houston's Asian American communities in cancer research, as well as to share lessons learned.Methods: The community-academic-medical partnership used community-based research principles to build the partnership, form the community advisory board, conduct a community needs assessment, and offer cancer prevention engagement and education.Results: Some lessons learned included balancing language needs with limited resources, incorporating more time and resources to conduct health research in an ethnically diverse community, and promoting awareness of research and its role in cancer prevention in Asian American communities.Conclusions: Community–academic–medical partnerships are promising ways to engage the community, draw on combined expertise, and create research and programs that are scientifically strong and meaningful to the community.
