Description
Emily D'Agostino and a large team describe a toolkit in 2026 that helps researchers and communities work as true partners. Health studies go better when the people they affect help shape them, but such teamwork is hard to start and keep. The toolkit, called the Roadmap for Community Engagement, was built with community partners and is free online.
The team tested it over a year with surveys, group talks, and a two-day review event. Among ninety partners, nearly all found it useful and said it would strengthen their links with researchers. They praised how clear and flexible it is. They also flagged hurdles, such as language access, cost, and time. The authors call for full trials of its effect.
