Stand-Out Quotes: In underserved communities, people sometimes don’t have the right tools or materials or education to care for themselves. The populations are forgotten. It’s frustrating to see that people don’t know what help is available. People talk to you and feel comfortable with you. Check on them and see how they are doing. Spread the word in the community. People don’t even know what is in front of them in terms of resources. This takes a collective effort from public health professionals. We will reach everyone. In immigrant communities, most people are afraid because there’s always been a catch. When you educate people, you empower them to take control and be in charge of their lives. Engage your community and community leaders and develop trust. Listen to them. Make sure you listen and they know you are there for them. The relationship should be a lasting one.

She is the founder of Joyee Washington Consulting, LLC and is completing her PhD in Educational Research at the University of Southern Mississippi with a focus on evaluation, statistics, and assessment specifically related to adolescent sexual health. She believes that power lies in community and the best way to access that power is by listening and uplifting the voices of the people through community engagement and action.

The difference between community involvement and community engagement. Why recognizing a community’s strengths is crucial in the research process. The two key factors in helping communities solve problems. Stand-Out Quotes: With regards to Community-Based Participatory Research: "It’s one thing to read about it in a book and another thing to actually do it.” “As researchers, we cannot go into their community and assume we know what they need. That will not work. That will create more problems as opposed to solutions.” “There is a lot that goes on in the background of CBPR. It is key to have a community advisory board.” Advice for Community-Based Researchers: “Don’t go in with any expectations. You have to be open. You have to be flexible.” “At the end of the day it isn’t about you, it is about the community.” “You have to plan for sustainability on the front end.” “When talking about community-based research and projects in general, equity is providing resources to those who need it the most.” “We have a responsibility to work with a community to uncover their strengths and use those strengths to achieve health equity.” “(Research) is more than numbers, data and experiments. We have to take time and ask what’s going on. Communities have to learn to empower themselves.” Action Steps: Whenever working to help solve problems, make sure to meet people where they are and build trust and relationships by listening. Be flexible during the entire research process. Build a sustainability plan during the initial planning process. Remain open, because it is about the community, not your research expectations.
