Community Involvement and Engagement (CIE): A Pathway to Equitable and Effective Healthcare
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Community Involvement and Engagement (CIE) is crucial for sustainable health outcomes, fostering shared responsibility between health systems and communities. This review examines CIE’s role in health, the challenges, and effective strategies to overcome these barriers. It explores various models and theories of CIE, noting that while these models demonstrate success in fostering equitable engagement, no single approach guarantees universal effectiveness. Strategies must be tailored to specific contexts, with an emphasis on building genuine partnerships, establishing community trust, and employing participatory methods. The review underscores the importance of CIE for achieving equitable and effective healthcare.
