Community-Academic Partnerships

With a team of collaborators, we have directly explored how academic-community partnerships can successfully be utilized to tackle the various complex public health concerns impacting projects and understudied population. These publications explore the extent to which such partnerships can bring multiple providers (community-based organizations, public health agencies, academic institutions) together to develop integrated models of care, particularly to address sexual health concerns.  Creating healthier communities and overcoming structural problems require collaborative solutions which bring communities and institutions together as equal partners.
