BACKGROUND The New York University- New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (NYU-HHC) Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) used a community-based participatory research (CBPR) and consensus-building approach among its community advisory board (CAB) and steering committee (SC) members to formulate research priorities to foster shared research collaborations. METHODS The Delphi technique is a methodology used to generate consensus from diverse perspectives and organizational agendas through a multi-method, iterative approach to collecting data. A series of on-line surveys was conducted with CAB members to identify health and research priorities from the community perspective. Subsequently, CAB and SC members were brought together and the snow card approach was utilized to narrow to two priority areas for shared research collaborations. RESULTS Cardiovascular disease (CVD)/obesity and mental health were identified as health disparity areas for shared research collaborations within a social determinants framework. In response, two workgroups were formed with leadership provided by three co-chairs representing the three constituents of the NYU-HHC CTSI: NYU faculty, HHC providers, and community leaders CONCLUSIONS The Delphi approach fostered ownership and engagement with community partners because it was an iterative process that required stakeholders’ input into decision making. The snow card technique allowed for organizing of a large number of discrete ideas. Results have helped to inform the overall CTSI research agenda by defining action steps, and setting an organizing framework to tackle two health disparity areas. The process helped ensure that NYUHHC CTSI research and community engagement strategies are congruent with community priorities
Las temáticas reunidas en este libro contemplan resultados y avances de investigaciones, con el propósito de compartirlas y enriquecer la reflexión. Propendemos a que los lectores encuentren en ellas un espacio que responda a sus inquietudes y conocimientos. En algunos casos, los textos presentados —además de su contenido teórico— se ven enriquecidos con aportes icónicos o técnicos que permiten un mayor acercamiento a los planteamientos propuestos, los cuales, a su vez, estimulan el debate interdisciplinar. En este último sentido, el libro es un espacio de inquietud científica que pretende acceder a diferentes temas, pero reunidos por grandes apartes más generales que los recogen, todo ello con el fin de otorgarle un orden que responda a diferentes búsquedas de conocimiento. Finalmente, como todo escrito, es un esfuerzo humano apreciado por humanos, pero pensando en que vivimos en un mundo compartido e interespecífico
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
