Summary

This study compares two ways of involving patients, caregivers, clinicians, and community members in research. One method is more consultative, the other more collaborative. Researchers want to see which approach builds more trust and engagement, especially among groups that are often left out of research. About 136 participants will help with real studies on pediatric mental health, cancer screening, and serious illness.
