Coming up on December 1, tune in for ‘Partnerships to strengthen rural health equity research in Wisconsin.’
This program will highlight community partner organizations that can support rural health equity research. National thought leaders in rural health recently shared four recommendations to shift us from describing the problem of rural health disparities to designing effective solutions:
- Create mechanisms to allow the research community time to build sustainable rural community-based participatory relationships;
- Support innovative research designs and approaches relevant to rural settings;
- Sustain effective interventions relevant to unique challenges in rural areas; and
- Recognize and identify the diversity within and across rural populations and adapt culturally and language-appropriate approaches.”
