Description
Jessica Carter and co-authors present a 2025 case study on building a research network with migrant communities in London. Migrants make up about one sixth of the United Kingdom's population but are often left out of health research, deepening unfair outcomes. The team at a university migrant health group set out to co-create a lasting network rather than consult communities once.
Working in five phases, they reflected on past practice, consulted community members, ran co-led workshops, agreed shared principles, and built a lived-experience advisory panel. The resulting Migrant Health Community Research Network tries to flatten academic hierarchies and build trust. The authors share the obstacles they met, from distrust to power imbalance, as lessons for similar partnerships.
