Description: Community health centers that serve our most vulnerable populations play an important role in improving the health of communities. The potential for their role in the research enterprise and in translating evidence into practice is enormous. But, they often lack the infrastructure, resources, and time necessary to effectively lead or collaborate in research. This toolkit is designed to provide clinical and administrative staff at Community Health Centers with the elements involved in building a primary care research infrastructure. Organized into eight stand-alone modules, health center clinicians and staff will find information on the following:

Level: Basic
Description: Jonathan Tobin PhD, FACE, FAHA, President/CEO of Clinical Directors Network Inc. (CDN) and Co-Director of Community Engaged Research at The Rockefeller University Center for Clinical and Translational Science, teaches the fundamentals of getting started in collaborative community-based research to a live audience of family health center clinicians. A board certified epidemiologist, Dr. Tobin leads the audience through the key concepts and importance of translational research, the basic epidemiological skills necessary for the development and understanding and interpretation of community-based research, and how epidemiological measures relate to clinical research and clinical practice. Topics covered include measures of morbidity and mortality (prevalence and incidence), causal inference, data collection methods, validity, reliability, and working with human subjects. He closes with a practical exercise that assists with conceptualizing and developing research aims and questions.
