A key aspect to engaging community members in research is connecting the community to research opportunities. Ineffective communication was cited as a substantial barrier to connecting underrepresented community members to research. A major contributing factor was lack of awareness of research studies and of the researchers who conduct the studies. Community members expressed that research information, such as project outcomes, is not adequately being disseminated throughout the community. In instances where research information reaches the community, it is not easily understood and is not user friendly for some groups. Additionally, those community members who felt their efforts were futile in identifying research opportunities cited that the information on research websites was inadequate, out of date, and/or too complex. Furthermore, they wanted the research outcomes to be circulated throughout the community to assist its members in making informed healthcare decisions.
