Created in collaboration with the Journal of Participatory Research Methods, this special issue advances the dialogue around health equity, structural racism, and the essential role of collaborative, community-engaged research in driving systemic change.
It contains 15 articles addressing the challenges and successes involved in research prioritizing meaningful community collaboration and shared leadership between those in research and community settings. The articles come from a wide range of U.S. geographies, from California’s Central Valley to rural Missouri to urban Boston, and describe a variety of participatory research methods used to address structural issues such as housing equity or barriers to health care for an array of communities, including immigrant or minoritized communities, women, children, youth, and disinvested urban and rural communities.
The authors include current IRL fellows, IRL alumni, and other community-based researchers focused on conducting community-engaged, action-oriented research to reduce/eliminate structural racism and make progress toward health equity.
