How can we do Community-Engaged Research well during a Health Crisis?

November 23, 2023

Location: 312 Main, Vancouver CERi Room (Room 370)    

Time: 4-6 pm

Event description

Community-Engaged Research (CER) is crucial in health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Community engagement can provide insights into how priority populations are experiencing the crisis and can help to identify community needs. In turn, this can guide interventions to reduce health and social inequities exacerbated during crises. 

Join us for the launch of CER during Health Crises and an engaging conversation about doing research well at a time when this work can be most challenging. 

This handbook has been developed to provide guidance to researchers who aim to ethically engage with Civil Society Organizations during health crises, especially crises caused by infectious diseases (e.g., COVID-19, H1N1).
