Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.5K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

97
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.5K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Framing Effects03:26

Framing Effects

7.5K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

CRISPR01:59

CRISPR

53.0K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The Community Research Academy to Foster RepresenTation (CRAFT) program successfully trained community health workers (CHWs) to advocate for clinical research participation. This initiative improved CHWs' knowledge and perception, addressing underrepresentation in clinical trials among diverse populations.

Area of Science:

  • Health Equity
  • Clinical Trials Research
  • Community Engagement

Background:

  • Mino ritized groups, including Black Americans, are underrepresented in clinical research, leading to health inequities.
  • Community Outreach and Engagement offices aim to bridge the gap between research institutions and communities.
  • Community health workers (CHWs) can serve as crucial advocates to improve research participation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and evaluation of a program to empower CHWs as clinical research advocates.
  • To enhance CHWs' understanding and perception of clinical trial importance and processes.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the Community Research Academy to Foster RepresenTation (CRAFT) program, a "train the trainer" session.
  • Adapted evidence-based materials on clinical trial importance, including "myth busters" and participant panels.
  • Evaluated CRAFT for acceptability, knowledge change, perception shifts, and maintenance of learning.

Main Results:

  • Initial training showed high satisfaction, with reported increases in knowledge (48%) and perception (33%).
  • Refresher training demonstrated improved satisfaction (94%), increased knowledge (47%), and significantly higher objective knowledge (73%).
  • Fifty percent of participants maintained or improved their objective knowledge scores after both sessions.

Conclusions:

  • The CRAFT program effectively increased awareness, knowledge, and positive perception of clinical research among diverse CHWs.
  • The training demonstrated potential for knowledge maintenance over time.
  • Future steps include refining the curriculum and expanding its reach to other institutions and community health advisors.
