In the spirit of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), ICH engages in productive partnerships with community agencies by creating trusting relationships. Working together, we develop the systemic thinking, action, and evidence-based strategies needed to build sustainable community health. From this work, ICH is actively able to disseminate information through multiple resources which include peer-reviewed journals, local, state, and national presentations, abstracts, posters, and reports.
