334 - Section on Medical Sociology Paper Session. Patient, Stakeholder, and Community Engagement in Health Research

Mon, August 22, 8:30 to 10:10am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

There is increasing recognition of the importance of conducting research that is useful and meaningful to patients and communities, that builds on the expertise of relevant stakeholders, and that is conducted in genuine partnership with them. Engaging in partnered research projects frequently requires clarifications of scientists’ roles and methods, the meaning of “valid” knowledge, and the definition of “community.” The focus of this session is on understanding multiple ways in which researchers collaborate with a broad range of stakeholders in conducting research that leads to organizational, community, or policy change, as well as improvements in health and health equity. This session explores sociological research on patient-centered care, stakeholder engagement in health research, and community-based participatory research on health related topics. Although theoretical/conceptual papers are welcome, we are particularly interested in theoretically-informed empirical research that uses quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods.
