A Deep Dive into Community Engagement

Rebecca Susan Dresser

Abstract

Community engagement offers opportunities to enhance the value of health research. Through engaging with community partners, researchers can pursue projects that produce meaningful benefits for study populations. At the same time, engagement presents challenges for everyone involved. High-quality engagement requires attending to the choice of community partners, the ethics of engagement, education for researchers and community partners, project planning, and the distinct knowledge that experienced research subjects can contribute to engagement activities.
