Rethinking Community-Engaged Research Through Storytelling
Through digital storytelling, Project BRIDGE (Bi-directional Research + Digital Engagement) aims to cultivate genuine and sustainable partnerships among the health community of academics, researchers, providers and the larger Latinx community to increase understanding of community health needs and to improve community-centered research.
Our inaugural storytelling series highlighted the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on our Latinx communities, where community members and allies shared their experiences navigating the burden of COVID-19 in their personal lives and in their communities in Washington state.
We are currently working on a new series highlighting pediatric health issues.
