Description
Carlo Perrone, Nipaphan Kanthawang, and Phaik Yeong Cheah reflect on community engagement in a 2024 paper. Northern Thailand is home to hill tribe groups with their own languages and customs. These remote farming communities face barriers to health care. They also join health research at high rates due to disease risk.
To keep research aligned with community values, the team formed an advisory board. Members are consulted before, during, and after each project. The paper recounts the board's first year of work. Trust and familiarity grew steadily between researchers and members. Exchanges gained depth as both sides learned each other's worlds. The authors argue long term boards beat one off project panels.
