Community Listening Session: How can community & ethnic media communicate effectively & equitably about COVID-19 research to your community?

In this virtual community listening session hosted by The Chicago, Community, Media & Research Partnership (CCMRP), breakout sessions will be led in English by ARCC Steering Committee Community Chair Candace Henley (Blue Hat Foundation), and Phyllis Rodgers (PEER Plus Education & Training Advocates), and in Spanish by Jackie Serrato (South Side Weekly). Participants will be asked about personal experiences with community and ethnic media (CEM), as well as best practices for CEM outlets to effectively and equitably communicate with their community, family, and friends. Learnings will be shared with community and ethnic media and health researchers, to ensure that these community perspectives are heard directly by those who most need to hear them.

The Chicago, Community, Media & Research Partnership (CCMRP) seeks to cultivate deeper engagement on health research within under-resourced communities, by building crucial relationships between three groups: community stakeholders; community and ethnic media; and health researchers. CCMRP is a two-year project led collaboratively by Public Narrative and Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) at Northwestern University, and funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
