Empowering People Aging with HIV
N1: Deep Dive: Empowering People Aging with HIV
This presentation describes the SHARE board (a community advisory group comprised of older people living with HIV) and academic researchers. It explains the process to build the board and develop research engagement capacity, as well as assessing its output and ongoing evaluation. The results of its CBPR community-needs assessment will be explained.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate (1) building a research advisory board, (2) building capacity for research engagement, and (3) engagement in community-based participatory research, from non-PCOR (patient-centered outcomes research).
- Describe the evaluation and feedback data we have, showing how confidence, familiarity, and engagement have grown & evolved in the project’s first year.
- Discuss the findings of n=37 semi-structured interviews and n=217 survey responses that were gathered by our SHARE Board members as a CBPR community needs assessment.
