What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing primary care in New Mexico, particularly in rural areas where healthcare access is limited. It aims to build a network that engages local communities and primary care settings to increase participation in clinical research. By employing trust-building strategies and adapting research practices to fit clinical workflows, the project seeks to integrate evidence-based practices into everyday healthcare. The goal is to create a sustainable model that allows for ongoing community engagement and research collaboration.
