PROTECT Report Back Team hosts community meeting with study participants in Arecibo, Puerto Rico
On the afternoon of Saturday, March 23rd, the PROTECT Community Engagement Core spent the afternoon celebrating and hosting a Report Back session with participants at the Clinical Laboratory Toledo in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. This activity was organized as a part of our ongoing efforts to engage our participants in the study results and research, and stems from the need to regularly report the results of the investigation. Twenty-three women participated in the meeting and brought their sons, daughters, husbands, families and friends. Anticipating the turnout, our team had activities for children including games and socio-educational activities. This activity was a collaboration between research assistants, students, the Report Back coordinator and our principal investigator Dr. Vélez-Vega.
