Abstract

Medical mistrust among the public was amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic due to racial and social inequities in infection rates and misinformation in the media. In Boston, two initiatives were launched by the Boston University Clinical Translational Science Institute (BU CTSI), Boston Medical Center (BMC), community health centers (CHCs), and community organizations to establish longitudinal and authentic partnerships with community-research boundary spanners who remained trusted sources of information. Each initiative addressed the immediate need for community-informed and partnered COVID research and provided a structure for longitudinal partnerships. In this paper, we describe the process of envisioning how these two initiatives could move from isolation toward collective impact. We also identify opportunities to improve community-engaged research practices within an academic health system. Our approach provides a structure that other organizations can use to align initiatives and move toward boundary-crossing partnerships which foster health equity.

现场记录:将倡议从孤立转向集体影响，以改变学术医疗系统中社区参与的研究实践

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，由于感染率的种族和社会不平等以及媒体的错误信息，公众之间的医疗不信任被放大了。在波士顿，波士顿大学临床转化科学研究所(BU CTSI)、波士顿医学中心(BMC)、社区卫生中心(CHCs)和社区组织发起了两项倡议，与社区研究边界制定者建立纵向和真实的伙伴关系，他们仍然是值得信赖的信息来源。每项倡议都解决了社区知情和合作的COVID研究的迫切需求，并提供了纵向伙伴关系的结构。在本文中，我们描述了设想这两项举措如何从孤立走向集体影响的过程。我们还确定了在学术卫生系统内改善社区参与研究实践的机会。我们的方法提供了一种结构，其他组织可以利用这种结构来协调倡议，并朝着促进卫生公平的跨界伙伴关系迈进。
