The Nevada Minority Health and Equity (NMHE) Coalition is offering a virtual Community-Based Participatory Research workshop on Sept. 11 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The workshop will be taught by Jason Flatt from the UNLV School of Public Health and Leana Ramirez from the LGBTQ Center of Southern Nevada.

Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is the combination of research and partnership building when assessing a community priority. Partnerships are diverse, often including individuals from specific communities, organizations, academic institutions, and/or coalitions. The CBPR approach strives for shared decision-making and involvement of partners and community members during all phases of the process. This workshop will introduce CBPR, its principles, critical points in partnership development, and aspects to consider throughout the research and partnership processes. This workshop is for anyone interested in conducting research and assessment with communities. The session will incorporate tips and strategies for organizations implementing and evaluating community programs.

Attendees must register via the NMHE site.
