Join Roger Clark, co-chair of the Community Research Advisory Council to John Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, popular radio host Terry Base, and Garcia Williams, executive director of The Medi, for a conversation about the social determinants of health! On January 18, Roger will discuss community participatory research and how it can affect the social determinants of health—an apt subject for MLK Day.
During this discussion, Roger will answer questions like: what is community participatory research? What does he do as a co-chair and member of the Community Research Advisory Council to John Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research? Why is it important for the community to be engaged in research?
