Community engagement is a research area that focuses on the active involvement of community members in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs or initiatives that impact their lives. This approach empowers community members to have a voice in decision-making processes, fosters collaboration between stakeholders, and promotes sustainable solutions that address the unique needs and priorities of the community. Community engagement research may involve participatory methods such as community-based participatory research (CBPR), citizen science, or community organizing to promote social change, health equity, and community development. This research area seeks to build trust, enhance communication, and facilitate meaningful relationships between researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community members to achieve positive outcomes and promote social justice.
