What this research studies
As someone affected by childhood trauma, this Core works to connect the hospital with local community groups so research is easier and safer to join. It will convene a community advisory board, boost outreach, and train researchers to recruit and keep children and adults with trauma histories in studies. The Core will help teams handle practical and ethical issues when working with vulnerable people and support community-based data or sample collection. By improving communication and cultural competence, the Core aims to make research more respectful and accessible for families and adults affected by adversity.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Children, adolescents, and adults with histories of childhood stress, trauma, or adversity and community members served by partner organizations are the main people this Core is built to reach.
Not a fit: People without a history of childhood adversity or those needing immediate clinical care rather than research involvement may not receive direct benefit from this Core.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this will make it easier for trauma-affected people to join research that could lead to better prevention, supports, and treatments over the lifespan.
How similar studies have performed: Community-engaged research has improved recruitment and trust among trauma-exposed groups in other projects, though this Core formalizes and expands those practices into an institutional infrastructure.
