HIP 538 Community-Engaged Research


Credits: 2
The goal of Community-Engaged Research is to educate students about:

  1. the history and rationale for including marginalized, vulnerable, and difficult-to-reach populations in research;
  2. the major frameworks for community-engaged research and how to match them with inquiry;
  3. the advantages, disadvantages, and ethical, methodological, and logistical considerations of community-engaged research;
  4. how to apply course concepts to their own research.

Faculty with experience in clinical, health services, and community-engaged research will discuss theoretical and practical aspects of these topics. The course employs didactic lectures and interactive exercises.

Graded: Pass/No pass
