ENGAGE: Innovations and Designs for Engagement and Equity

Home

ENGAGE uses community and patient engagement approaches to create culturally-relevant healthcare messages and materials, including print and digital media, to improve rates of preventive care screenings and follow-up care among underserved communities experiencing health disparities. We provide tools and inspiration for clinics, community-based organizations, and others to improve health outcomes and quality of care. ENGAGE is a Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research resource led by Ms. Jennifer Rivelli and Ms. Jamie Thompson, with support from Dr. Amanda Petrik.

Using community and patient-centered methods like adapted boot camp translation and learner verification and revision, we help community leaders and champions learn from their members about barriers and gaps in healthcare (listen), share health information in a collaborative way (empower), and develop messages and materials that resonate with and motivate community members to take control of their own health (co-create).

We develop culturally-responsive print and digital materials for diverse communities. Each population has its own unique cultural, linguistic, and social context that impacts how individuals receive and act on healthcare materials and messages. Materials are co-created with community members to best meet the needs of the target population.
