This paper critically assesses the important elements of the Latino/Hispanic community's participation in health services research and the known barriers to effective collaboration, and provides suggestions that may contribute toward a meaningful partnership among health care providers, researchers and the community. The discussion focuses on central strategies for community participation to help improve existing health care services' effectiveness, specifically for low-income Latino/Hispanic groups. It reviews current approaches for including communities in health care delivery and health services research and draws examples from the author's experiences of working with Latino/Hispanic communities for almost 20 years. The data implies that mutual benefits can be derived from forging alliances and meaningful partnerships between the health services research community and the Latino/Hispanic community.
本文批判性地评估了拉丁裔/西班牙裔社区参与卫生服务研究的重要因素以及有效合作的已知障碍，并提出了一些建议，这些建议可能有助于在医疗服务提供者、研究人员和社区之间建立有意义的伙伴关系。讨论聚焦于社区参与的核心策略，以帮助提高现有医疗服务的有效性，特别是针对低收入拉丁裔/西班牙裔群体。它回顾了当前将社区纳入医疗服务提供和卫生服务研究的方法，并从作者近20年来与拉丁裔/西班牙裔社区合作的经验中举例说明。数据表明，在卫生服务研究社区和拉丁裔/西班牙裔社区之间建立联盟和有意义的伙伴关系可以带来互利。
