Remarkable Research: The Community as Partners in Research (An Interview with Dr. Schenita Randolph)

  • Summary

  • In this interview, we discussed Dr. Schenita Randolph’s research with, not in, the Black community. Dr. Randolph co-leads the Community Engagement and Dissemination Core at the Duke REACH Equity Center. In this interview, she stresses the importance of the role of nurse leaders and the critical need to better understand racial inequities in health. She notes a major gap in the current science behind HIV prevention in women of color. The CDC provides evidence-based PrEP Best Practices but as Dr. Randolph points out, none exist for women or women of color. She is working to change that and currently leads a study entitled, A Salon-Based, Multi-level Intervention to Improve PrEP Uptake among Black Women living in the United States South, funded by Gilead Sciences, Inc. The CDC has called out racism as a public health emergency and priority but Dr. Randolph says more training on racial equity and lived experiences of scientists of color is needed among decision makers at funding agencies. She also reflects on Academia and the need to reexamine how scientists are evaluated. In conclusion, Dr. Randolph wants listeners to remember that diversity, equity, and inclusion are linked to real people.
