River of Life “It reminded me of why we were in this in the first place—what happened, how it happened, such that going back to conflicts, for me it would be helpful as a reminder to say you, in theory, form a strong partnership because of this, and hold onto that, and that should help get you through the conflicts and into where you’re going in the future.” “It was really neat to like go through the history. So I think it’s something that could be helpful in our own onboarding and training, like if we hired someone tomorrow, do they know how impactful the civil unrest was for our program?” “Using the River of Life as a great activity for families, for adults maybe and for older kids to really put some time and effort into thinking about their futures.”
Visioning with CBPR model “I think there were a number of components that are were very reflective that stop and make us think about where we’re at and where we’re going. I feel as a group and with larger community engagement, we have so much momentum, we’re going to push forward and we have to do this.” “I think this particular model would be most useful in situations where there’s a potential or perceived power differential . . .” “I think this came at a very opportune time because, one, you’re giving us tools that are—that we can readily use.”
PDR “The data report was really helpful . . . I feel like it’s gonna be so helpful for community partners with the colors and a full page you can just kind of focus on one thing at a time or pick the priorities, like three or four.” “I think that was something very concrete that we could reflect back on. It’s what we’ve aimed to do in the evaluation activities that we’ve done, specifically for the patient advisory group. But I think it was helpful to think about it beyond just our patient engagement because there’s a lot of other groups that we need to engage and to get buy-in from and to work with to make this study successful.” “I could see sharing that with community partners . . . it provided data in a visual way that many people could connect with and understand. It was a tool of equity, which I really appreciate.”
PPG “I think that the promising practices guide, again it not only helps to define a lot of these areas that have been determined as important for a sustained partnership. I think that the reflections and the questions that are sort of used as guides to facilitate those conversations will make it easier when we go back.” “For me looking at the PDR compared to the Promising Practicing Guide was important, because I think we had a framework of how we believe that we were doing our work and understanding that it was the three of us that actually did the survey. It helped me to see if we really were on the same page.” “I know that in the future just with this [the PPG] and the data one, that I know somewhere along the way, I’ll use, just because I’m always looking for some new approach or to make the programs more effective.”
