Strategies to Enhance Culturally Responsive Research: Community Research Recommendation Tool.

NORTH Carolina; MINNESOTA

Under-representation of minorities in research hinders the ability to address persistent societal inequities. To understand how to increase the cultural responsiveness of research, a community-academic partnership conducted listening sessions and community forums with African Americans in North Carolina, Native Hawaiians in Hawai'i, and Hmong and Latino/a/x communities in Minnesota. Participants shared their concerns and desires for research, as well as generated strategies aimed at communities, researchers, and partnerships to enhance culturally responsive research practices. These findings resulted in a Community Research Recommendation Tool (CRRT) that can be used to guide community members, researchers, and partnerships as they build equitable research partnerships that honor cultural practices, account for sociopolitical contexts, and aim to redress societal inequities.
