Importance of the Trauma Survivor Community Driving Research
This video is a web-based training designed for health care researchers to understand, “The Importance of the Trauma Survivor Community Driving Research.” It provides information on how it is not only feasible to involve trauma survivors and their families in health care research, but how their participation is essential to the conduct and reach of meaningful research.
Dr. Amy Ellis reviews critical issues that researchers must know in developing and following community-based participatory research principles (i.e., power sharing, mutual respect for experience/expertise, informed decision making, maximum involvement).
In addition, she explain how this type of approach not only increases access to potential recruitment of participants, but focuses on outcomes that matter to survivors, and facilitates dissemination of science-based findings.
