Description

This presentation will focus on how researchers and patient/community advisors can partner to address a public health problem. We will describe our collaboration, involving a diabetes-focused translational advisory board consisting of community health workers in Texas taking on pre-diabetes in our predominantly Latinx (Hispanic) communities. Multidisciplinary speakers will discuss our community based participatory research (CBPR) approach and guide attendees in use of CBPR principles, using several learning methods to generate new CBPR ideas for clinicians, researchers and community health workers.
