I attended my department's seminar last week, featuring Dr. Gilbert as the speaker. As someone passionate about development and social impact activities, I was eager to learn about engaging rural and underserved communities to address health disparities. *** Some key takeaways that resonated with me beyond just academics include: ✅Understanding the difference between community outreach and community engagement (a crucial distinction for social impact work) ✅Community engagement involves partnership and collaboration with the community to drive positive change ✅In community-engaged research, findings can inform policies and interventions that benefit the community, which sometimes include co-designing with the community. I think I am personally drawn to community engagement because it has the potential to influence systems, policies, and practices, leading to meaningful change. Have you been mistaking outreach for engagement? #CommunityEngagedResearch #CommunityEngagement #CommunityOutreach #GloriaOladeji #SocialChangeMaker #CommunityandPublicHealth

Cultural competency or cultural humility? I love the transition in language from cultural competency to cultural humility. The idea of being "competent" in someone else's culture always seemed a bit absurd to me, especially as a white man who moves through society with so much ease. Thinking instead of being humble and recognizing that we will never fully understand other cultures (i.e., be competent in them) presents us with an opportunity to engage and a posture to listen. I will be attending this webinar hosted by NACCHO to listen to Dr. King talk about this topic and SO MUCH MORE. Will you join me?

Community engagement is critical to the success of interventions like PMC, to promote target behaviors, foster community ownership, and enable feedback between caregivers, community members, providers, and decision-makers at all levels of the health system. At the beginning of the project, human-centered design techniques were used to elevate the voices and experiences of key community stakeholders in each partner country.   More than one year into PMC implementation through Plus Project, uptake is high and effective strategies are in place to reach children lost to follow-up because of early community buy-in.
