Abstract:
Typical research dissemination involves peer-reviewed publications and professional presentations targeting scholarly audiences. However, community-engaged health equity research requires innovative and community-centered dissemination approaches to ensure that research findings reach affected individuals and communities. Community-engaged research conferences are one such approach. This article provides guidance for planning and delivering a community-engaged research conference and uses the Stinging Stigma in Healthcare Symposium as an exemplar. This two-day event for healthcare providers and community members facilitated the dissemination of research focused on the sexual health and HIV prevention needs of Black women in Orange County, Florida. We discuss the formation of a planning committee, the steps in the planning process, and recommendations for researchers interested in using a symposium to disseminate their research.
