Purpose: This community-based participatory research project explored the feasibility of delivering parenting and recovery supports through digital technology for mothers recovering from addictive substances.
Design And Methods: A community advisory board of key stakeholders (n = 7) served as a focus group of advisors to discuss needed supports. Data were analyzed through qualitative descriptive analysis.
Findings: Results revealed themes about challenges and supports needed, and whether supports delivered through digital technology may improve recovery and parenting.
Practice Implications: Future exploration needs to examine the extent to which the use of community-guided, tailored digital support applications that supplement prescribed treatment can enhance parenting and recovery.

Minoritized racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender communities and populations face profound health disparities and their engagement in research remains low. In a randomized controlled trial, our community-based participatory research partnership tested the efficacy of ChiCAS, an HIV prevention intervention designed to increase pre-exposure prophylaxis use among Spanish-speaking transgender Latinas. Of 161 eligible Spanish-speaking transgender Latinas screened, we enrolled 144, achieving an 89% participation rate, and retained 94% at 6-month follow-up.

Background: Conventional top-down health interventions often exclude adolescents and community stakeholders from service design and implementation, resulting in low uptake and a mismatch with young people's needs. The CAFFP-PAC initiative in Northern Uganda sought to explore how a community-led, adolescent-centered inception process could support integration of adolescent-friendly family planning and post-abortion care into primary healthcare services.
Methods: A participatory qualitative design was employed during an inception meeting in Lira City on April 1, 2025, guided by principles of community-based participatory research and citizen science.

Although critical to enacting change, effectively communicating clinical and public health research results remains a challenge. In a webinar that occurred on December 7, 2023, a group of clinical and public health researchers and communications specialists convened to share their experiences using plain language materials to communicate research results. Herein, they provide practical guidance and case examples of lay summaries, infographics, data dashboards, and zines, along with challenges and potential solutions.

Since the 2013-2014 Ebola virus disease outbreak, Guinea has faced recurrent epidemics of viral hemorrhagic fevers. Although the country has learned from these epidemics by improving its disease surveillance and investigation capacities, local authorities and stakeholders, including community actors, are not sufficiently involved in the disease-emergence response. As a result, measures are not fully understood and have failed to engage local stakeholders.

Background: Integrative health efforts typically offer clinical services of Western and non-Western origin in a biomedical context. Indigenous communities and other minoritized populations would benefit from improved equity efforts in integrative healthcare.
Objective: As an approach to improve healthcare for Kānaka 'Ōiwi (Native Hawaiians), we explore multi-eyed seeing, an elaboration on two-eyed seeing, emphasizing decolonialism and adaptive use of healing traditions from multiple cultural backgrounds.
