Tuesday, November 9, 2010: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Roundtable
Community engagement is quickly becoming the standard for the practice of public heath, especially when working with and/or within API communities. Regardless of your end, the means require public health professionals to engage with the community, making navigating the socio-cultural diversity of such a heterogeneous population possible. This session will bring together researchers, interventionists, and community leaders in the sharing of these best practices.
Session Objectives: At the end of the session, participants will be able to: (1) List at least two reasons why community-based participatory research can build community capacity and leadership for health promotion and disease prevention; and (2) Identify at least three novel and innovative approaches to work with communities to collectively advance public health.
