Many academics want to make a difference but are unsure how to effectively communicate their research results with public. When they do, they often use jargon, focus on the research design, and do not provide actionable steps. Science communication is the practice of sharing one’s research with the public. Possible science communication products include op-eds/blogs, infographics, social media, community presentations, and podcasts. Leveraging my science communication training, decade of research, and my own patient story, I teach 4 strategies for sharing research with the public and provide an action plan for personalizing these strategies to their research agenda. Attendees will select a research project for developing a science communication product and will have dedicated time to create and/or revise their product. Attendees will leave the session with step-by-step dissemination plan.

Community-engaged health communication research offers incredible opportunities to align scholarly work with meaningful impact. However, the journey is filled with challenges, from navigating co-authorship with community partners to publishing iterative research and balancing institutional expectations with value-driven goals. Through a mix of short presentations, hands-on activities, and small group discussions, this workshop offers a practical and reflective space to explore best practices, learn from missteps, and tackle complex issues we face working within teams, communities, institutions, and the field of communication studies. Whether you are experienced in community-engaged research or new to engaging with communities, this workshop offers a practical reflective space to enhance your skills, connect with peers, and move your projects forward.

In this workshop, we work through the ABCs of applying a culture-centered approach to designing a culture-centered intervention. Our workshop is designed to engage with key foundational questions such as:
1) What does it mean when we say CCA is a meta-theoretical framework?
2) What does it mean to be guided by a culture-centered approach?
3) What are the methodological foundations of the culture-centered approach?
4) What are the steps, readings, and perspectives to consider when designing a culture-centered intervention?
5) What are the ontological, epistemological, and axiological considerations when working with the CCA?
To conclude, we will reflect on various CCA interventions over the years, discussing the challenges and strengths of culture-centered interventions.
