Using Garden Cafés to engage community stakeholders in health research

Abstract: Science Cafés, informal venues to promote bidirectional dialog, inquiry and learning about science between community members, scientists, healthcare and service providers, hold promise as an innovative tool for healthcare researchers and community members to improve health outcomes, especially among populations with health disparities. However, the process of optimizing science cafés is under-studied. We describe the pilot evaluation of a series of Science Cafés, called Garden Cafés (n = 9), conducted from Sep… Show more

“…The use of big data to understand public health issues is a novel way to provide clinical and translational science awards programs insight on community priorities that lend themselves to community-engaged research approaches [71]. Our other research indicates that meaningful community engagement offers the opportunity to promote bi-directional dialogue about health research with diverse communities [71][72][73]. The process used in this study offers a new way to identify topics for future dialogs with community-engaged stakeholders to set research priorities.…”

“…Community engagement platforms to increase awareness of and decrease stigma about mental health and obesity may be useful to promote care-seeking. For example, we have implemented Garden Cafes [46] in Olmsted County which could be expanded to other locations. Another specific implication of our study findings is that CTSA hubs may consider offering health promoting activities to study participants during their study visits.…”

“…Science cafés and community engagement studios [17][18][19] exemplifies successful face-to-face engagement strategies. Some more unique face-to-face programs like HealthStreet and Boot Camp Translation [20,21] include a personal component that is not easily disseminated.…”

“…Formative work at Mayo Clinic indicates that social media can be used to engage underrepresented, diverse community members in time-limited, two-way dialogs about health research [22,23]. Individuals who participated in face-to-face Garden Café forums indicated they desired to continue dialogs about research on social media venues (Facebook, blog, Twitter) [18]. Evaluation of these early efforts supports the utility of developing a social media platform for ongoing, two-way communication and co-learning across diverse populations.…”
