The Resilience Against Depression Disparities (RADD), a community partnered, randomized comparative effectiveness study, aimed to address mental health in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) racial/ethnic populations in New Orleans and Los Angeles.
To describe engagement methods, lessons learned, and recommendations in engaging LGBTQ individuals and agencies throughout the RADD study.
RADD used a community partnered participatory research framework to engage LGBTQ community members and agencies. Observational and quantitative data were collected to describe engagement activities and study adaptations from October 2016 to May 2019.
Our partnered approach resulted in multiple study adaptations. The principles of cultural humility, coleadership, and addressing health determinants were important to successful engagement with LGBTQ community members and study participants. We recommend maintaining cultural humility as the tenant of all research activities.
This project's engagement plan demonstrates that community-academic partnerships can be forged to create and modify existing study models for LGBTQ communities.
“抗抑郁差异韧性研究”（RADD）是一项社区合作的随机对照有效性研究，旨在解决新奥尔良和洛杉矶的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿/疑问（LGBTQ）种族/族裔人群的心理健康问题。
描述在整个 RADD 研究中，与 LGBTQ 个人和机构合作的参与方法、经验教训和建议。
RADD 使用社区合作参与式研究框架来吸引 LGBTQ 社区成员和机构。从 2016 年 10 月至 2019 年 5 月，收集观察性和定量数据来描述参与活动和研究调整。
我们的合作方法导致了多项研究调整。文化谦逊、共同领导和解决健康决定因素的原则对于与 LGBTQ 社区成员和研究参与者的成功参与至关重要。我们建议将文化谦逊作为所有研究活动的基础。
该项目的参与计划表明，社区-学术伙伴关系可以建立起来，为 LGBTQ 社区创建和修改现有的研究模型。
