Chapter 1. Conclusion and References

What to know

It is important to understand the context when engaging communities because it affects health problems and the development of health solutions.

Chapter Conclusion

The wide-ranging literature summarized in this chapter share several major themes:

  • There are multiple reasons for community-engaged health promotion and research.
  • Community engagement must be conducted in a manner that is respectful of all partners and mindful of their need to benefit from collaboration.
  • It is important to understand context (in all its complexity) as it affects health problems and the development of health solutions.
  • We must recognize that community-engaged health improvement is a long-term, evolving process.
