Empowering Communities through Digital Technology

In this session, investigators will share nutrition and health promotion research that incorporates various digital technology strategies that allow community members to meaningfully engage in the research process. The goal of these strategies is to create interventions and research methods that are rooted in community insight and priorities, thus empowering individuals through more relevant and effective nutrition-related programs, policies, and environments. Attendees will come away with practical research strategies that empower citizens and that can be applied to a wide array of nutrition education and behavior research projects and programs.
