Community Engagement Studios

A Community Engagement (CE) Studio is a 2-hour facilitated session that provides a research team with quick and valuable community or patient input. A CE Studio may be helpful at different stages of project development and/or implementation.

Request a CE Studio if you are a researcher who is looking for:

  • Community or patient feedback on study materials;
  • Ideas about entry points for community-based recruitment;
  • Early community or patient input about a project idea; or
  • Feedback on how to best share project findings with your target audience(s).

To learn more about the CE studio process, please contact Hilary Broughton at hilary.broughton@wustl.edu.
