Community Engagement/Community-based Participatory Research
Researchers using a community-engaged approach work collaboratively with community groups, partners, and targeted audiences to build a culture of health for citizens of South Carolina and beyond.
- Behavioral interventions
- Community-based participatory research
- Patient centered research
- Community-based behavioral interventions
- Motivation for health behavior change
- Physical activity and chronic disease prevention
Qualitative/Mixed Methods
Researchers use qualitative and mixed methods approaches to scientific inquiry to capture social processes that impact health and integrate them with quantitative findings. Results can be used to more robustly describe complex healthcare situations, inform intervention development and evaluation, and uncover areas of future research.
