Welcome to the Exploring Health Beliefs for Community Engagement and Diversity in Clinical Trials (EXPLORE) Toolkit, a resource designed to support researchers and frontline workers addressing substance use in the Borderlands.
The EXPLORE Toolkit was designed by an interdisciplinary team of epidemiologists, social workers, anthropologists, and public health professionals to enhance the engagement of underrepresented communities in substance use clinical trials. Learn more about our team and our process in the Contact section.
Utilizing a strength-based approach, the toolkit addresses equity, stigma, and participation barriers, promoting culturally sensitive and community-centered research practices. This toolkit is an ideal tool for clinical trials researchers and community health workers who are interested in learning more about how to engage underrepresented populations in clinical trials research in Southern New Mexico and beyond. Additionally, it reflects the insights that emerge from interdisciplinary, community engaged scholarship.
Below is a short "How To" video to help you get started. Or, you can jump in using one of the Domain links below.
