Join Walden University faculty and pioneer of community-based participatory research Dr. Michael Schwab for a webinar on collaboration and cooperation are ancient principles for effective group activity. Along with community participation, they have been recognized as key elements of public health since the 1960s. Yet there is often misunderstanding of the various types or degrees of coalition and community engagement, and the difficulties that can arise when researchers try to engage with communities as research or program partners.
