Our Deepest Appreciation
We are grateful for the support and contributions of our Community Advisory Board (CAB) representatives and their respective organizations (see sidebar).
Settings represented
Community-based organizations, federal community health centers, state health departments, public safety net providers, academic, and hospital-based programs.
Shared objectives
CAB members provided invaluable insights and recommendations throughout every phase of this study. They assisted in the planning activities, designing and testing the data collection instruments, as well as supporting study logisitics and participant recruitment. They also helped interpret the findings and formulate recommendations and 'next steps.'
Promotora CAB Feedback
We also want to acknowledge El Pueblo, Inc. and thank the 22 promotoras who also served as members of our Community Advisory Board.*
They helped us interpret the findings from the interviews conducted in Phase I and provided guidance and additional perspectives to incorporate in the development of the Phase II health professional survey and as we begin to formulate our next steps.
* Due to time constraints and considerations related to cultural and language differences, we convened 2 'CAB' meetings in the community, in Spanish, with the promotoras. The promotoras' input was summarized, translated into English, and shared with the other CAB and research team members.
A special thank you!
Piedmont Health Services, Inc., a local, non-profit organization in Carrboro, NC operates 6 community health centers, hosted our Community Advisory Board meetings.
