Mistrust in research in health in some communities is so strong and historical. Researchers want to publish data on communities, but what is a community’s interest in science?

Chicago Chronic Condition Equity Network (C3EN) invites Chicago area researchers in health equity to participate in the upcoming joint West Side United and C3EN Chicago Health Equity Alignment Summit.
