Am J Public Health. 2024 May;114(S5):S377-S383. doi: 10.2105/AJPH.2024.307686.

Abstract

We conducted focus groups with staff from 5 community-based organizations (21 participants; 86% female, 52% Hispanic/Latino/a/x and 24% Mexican/Mexican American) between August and October 2021. Results highlighted community partner perceptions of practices congruent (e.g., communication that built trust and dismantled power dynamics, a shared mission) and incongruent (e.g., intervention-community misalignment, research driven decision-making) with equitable implementation in the development, implementation, and evaluation of a promotores de salud intervention to increase COVID-19 testing and preventive behaviors among Latinx communities in Oregon.
