Chicago Community Toolkit
Overview
There is significant room for improvement in recruitment and retention efforts when working with the Chicago community. The information shared in the toolkits can lay the foundation for community involvement in every phase of the translational process and across the lifespan.
This toolkit can be a springboard for further investigation into thoughtful engagement and recruitment best practice.
Recommended Use
The toolkit is intended as an introduction to working with each population. Through using it, researchers can become familiar with key ideas and issues.
Toolkits are ideal for experienced researchers new to the Chicago community, as well as people who may be relatively new to research (students, research assistants, new faculty, etc.). The principles in this toolkit can be helpful to people doing clinical trials for cancer, public health needs assessments, social work research, etc.
