The past two decades have been marked by increased community involvement in the research process. Community-engaged (CEnR) is increasingly promoted literature, and academic programs with a community-academic partnership focus. Community-based participatory (CBPR) an approach to frame equitable critical component of CEnR continuum. As CEnR, noted benefits using CBPR expressed which include enhancing relevance application data, expertise complex problems at all stages research, overcoming...
Background Both C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) can be elevated in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flare infection, are therefore of limited utility for distinguishing between the two conditions febrile SLE patients. Methods A medical records review hospitalizations (1997–2006) patients Michigan Lupus Cohort was performed. Eligible were those which presented with a temperature >100.3°F or subjective fevers as presenting complaint at admission. Detailed...
Background Community access to evidence-based information is critical, especially during a pandemic, as it can impact knowledge and adoption of health behaviors that affect disparities. The field dissemination implementation (D&I) science ideally positioned address this need through its focus on reducing the research-to-practice gap improved distribution information. purpose paper describe creation weekly webinar series about COVID-19 directed toward community members, extent which...

Abstract Engaging patients and communities is invaluable for achieving a patient‐centered learning health system. Based on lessons learned in genomic public engagement efforts of our community‐based organizations Flint, Michigan, we offer continuum model distinguishing various levels community recommendations approaching community, patient, care systems that are expanding uses information.

Academic calendars and university timelines set an urgent pace for researchers, which can hinder the establishment of long-term community partnerships. Given community-based participatory research’s (CBPR) emphasis on community-led research, time constraints inhibit academic researchers’ commitments to collaborative methodologies research. This article considers how CBPR be adapted shorter-term engagements while still producing mutually beneficial In doing so, we contribute existing corpus...
Chronic stress and burnout experienced by healthcare workers has been exacerbated the COVID-19 pandemic. Animal-assisted activities, traditionally patient-focused, have potential to benefit worker well-being. With limited evidence support animal assisted activities for within inpatient hospital settings, purpose of this study was evaluate acceptability impact an activity using therapy dogs on stress, burnout, work engagement, mood. Using a quasi-experimental, waitlist control design, from...
With development, people around the world have become wealthier and live longer. At same time, development can lead to growing inequalities within between nations. This paper analyses related disability how they vary across countries by level. Using internationally comparable data on in 40 countries, we assess through use of regression with a variety measures. Results support hypothesis only partially: education, employment, multidimensional poverty are found be significantly larger at...

Recent disasters, including the Flint water crisis, Volkswagen emissions scandal, and post-hurricane scandal in Puerto Rico, reflect a moral failure to respond social dimensions of engineering. We employ three jumping-off points: ideological foundations culture engineering education, dominant imaginaries "community-engaged" research practice, instruction ethics. share belief that these deficiencies are interconnected mutually reinforcing, more importantly they render engineers vulnerable...
