The Role of Community Engagement in Health Equity
When health care providers and researchers and health and research institutions are working on addressing health equity, it is important to consider the extent to which the work is based on the expressed wishes of the people whose lives are most likely to be affected positively and negatively by the work.

We will have space to discuss ways to learn about communities (history and cultural context), build relationships, and develop capacity for engagement.
