Doctoral Students Invited to Publish Review on timely book, “Engaging Black and Minority Ethnic Groups in Health Research: ’Hard to Reach’? Demystifying the Misconceptions”

Tufts University doctoral students at the Freidman School Danielle Krobath and Salima Taylor, reviewed the book “Engaging Black and Minority Ethnic Groups in Health Research: ’Hard to Reach’? Demystifying the Misconceptions” by Natalie Darko, Associate Professor at the Stephen Lawrence Research Centre at De Montfort University. The review, which was published in the Journal of Public Health Policy on November 4, 2021, covers key issues of conducting research through a health equity lens with a focus on data ethics. In their publication, Krobath and Taylor outline their key insights and note that, “[their] long-standing research interests include advancing health equity through novel evidence synthesis methods focusing on community-based interventions and implementation, chronic disease prevention, and data sciences. This work not only requires rigorous investigative and analytic skills but an intentional paradigm shift, guided by ethics and empathy, to reduce harm in the communities that own these data.”
