Are you interested in community-engaged research? Need help getting started?

The Becker Medical Library and the Center for Community Health Partnership and Research created a library guide to point you to resources related to community-engaged research and practice.

The Maternal and Child Health Journal, in collaboration with MCHB and the National MCH Workforce Development Center, released a special issue in September 2022. This special issue highlights original research, commentaries, innovations, and policy & program evaluations for state public health agencies, academic institutions, and community-based organizations. Use these open-access publications to advance workforce development for current and future maternal and child health (MCH) professionals.
