Facilitating meaningful engagement on community advisory committees in patient-centered outcome research.
In this study, the investigators conducted a process evaluation of ongoing activities of a Patient Advisory Committee (PAC) formed around the development of an individualized decision aid for older women with early stage breast cancer. They indicated that their results suggested that engaging committee members in a process of evaluation and collective reflection during a research collaboration can break down barriers to collaboration, build relationships, create opportunities for co-learning and strengthen researchers' capacity to engage meaningfully with stakeholders.

Assessing local capacity to expand rural breast cancer screening and patient navigation: an iterative mixed-method tool.
To expand rural breast cancer screening , the researchers proposed a regional hub-and-spoke model, partnering with local providers to expand access across North Texas. Their capacity assessment tool enabled the hub to establish partnerships with county organizations by tailoring support to local capacity and needs.
