Clin Transl Sci. 2011 Aug;4(4):285-97. doi: 10.1111/j.1752-8062.2011.00316.x.

Abstract

This report describes four diverse programs of community-engaged research, all of which demonstrated positive health outcomes. Three of the programs were focused on communities of people with diabetes, and one program targeted at-risk young families raising infants and young children. Brief descriptions of each research study and outcomes are presented as well as a discussion of the processes and lessons that were learned from each model of successful interdisciplinary community-university health research partnerships.
