Accepting Students

About

Funded by: Michael Garron Hospital and East Efforts
Approach: Mixed Methods/ Survey/Focus group/ Co-design

This project is a collaboration among community members, a hospital, and community organizations aimed at advancing health equity within historically underserved communities. By training community members as citizen-researchers, we conduct needs assessments that inform priority setting and resource allocation. We use mixed methods to evaluate our approach and partnership through process and outcome evaluations.

Accepting Students

A student with hands-on mixed-methods experience (e.g., survey analyses, interviews, focus groups, co-design). Advanced manuscript writing skills are required.
