Abstract

Community engagement is critical to community-based research projects, particularly community level intervention research. However, achieving genuine engagement in research projects can be challenging. This session will focus on strategies for community engagement in our county-wide violence prevention project: Community Thriving: Enhancing Resiliency of Communities after Stress and Trauma (ReCAST). ReCAST is a collaboration between the School of Social Work, The Pittsburgh Study and the Department of Pediatrics, and community partners at the county level (UrbanKind Institute and Neighborhood Resilience Project) and community level (currently, Community Forge in Wilkinsburg and Operation Better Block in Homewood).

In this session we will focus on community engagement strategies for our county-wide Steering Committee which provides overall guidance for the ReCAST project, and for our Collective Efficacy Intervention that is being implemented in 10 neighborhoods over five years. Our project uses community-based participatory research methods that involve collaborative efforts between multi-sector stakeholders who gather and use research to build on the strengths and priorities of the community (Wallerstein, Duran, Oetzel, & Minkler, 2018). Our CBPR methods are illustrated in the roles for community partners and residents in our project. In each neighborhood site, our project is guided by a Community Advisory Board that includes a community-based partner and three residents who work as community facilitators.
