BACKGROUND Health care access is vital to advancing health equity. The purpose of this paper was to use a community-based participatory research approach to engage underserved communities in the development of a new mobile health clinic (MHC) program and to discuss the lessons learned from the conversations. Community conversations helped identify barriers to access to health care, community strengths, and health concerns. They also helped the MHC leaders develop programming. METHODS The community-based participatory research approach guided five community conversations conducted (N = 51 participants) from 2018 to 2019. Participants provided input on their personal experiences with a) existing facilitators and barriers to health, b) priority health issues and needs, and c) recommendations for MHC program development. RESULTS Barriers to health care access were identified, as were many community strengths. Recommendations directly informed MHC program development and implementation, including availability of services at no cost, mammogram referrals, mental health screening, eye exams, and nutrition counseling. CONCLUSIONS This project highlights the importance of collaboration between academic partners and communities to inform health care programs and the implementation of a MHC based on community voice and input.

将社区声音整合到移动医疗计划的实施中。

背景技术 获得医疗保健对于促进健康公平至关重要。本文的目的是采用基于社区的参与式研究方法，让服务不足的社区参与开发新的移动医疗诊所 (MHC) 计划，并讨论从对话中汲取的经验教训。社区对话有助于确定获得医疗保健的障碍、社区优势和健康问题。他们还帮助 MHC 领导者开发编程。方法 以社区为基础的参与式研究方法指导了 2018 年至 2019 年进行的五次社区对话（N = 51 名参与者）。参与者就其个人经历提供了意见：a) 现有的健康促进因素和障碍；b) 优先健康问题和需求；以及c) MHC 程序开发的建议。结果 确定了获得医疗保健的障碍以及许多社区优势。建议直接为 MHC 计划的制定和实施提供信息，包括免费提供服务、乳房 X 光检查转诊、心理健康筛查、眼科检查和营养咨询。结论 该项目强调了学术合作伙伴和社区之间合作的重要性，以根据社区的声音和意见为医疗保健计划和 MHC 的实施提供信息。
