Exploring Patient- Centeredness in Faith Communities [EMPART]
Equipping Muslims with PCOR-Based, Action-Oriented Research Tools [EMPART] is an ongoing study that serves as a follow-on project from our E-MARCH (Engaging Muslim Americans For Research on Community Health) Project. This study is being run in collaboration with Worry Free Community under the supervision of principal investigators Dr. Aasim Padela and Fatema Mirza (WorryFree Community).
Through funding from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), the research team will use the Mosque-based toolkit, and draw upon others relevant to the faith-based community contexts (e.g., Pastors4PCOR) to accelerate the uptake and adoption of PCOR/CER for community health outcome improvement in Chicagoland-area mosques.
