MyPaTH Story Booth: Amplifying African American Voices and Healthcare Experiences

STUDY BASICS

In follow-up of Black History Month, the Story Booth team is putting a special focus on stories from African American storytellers over the next 90 days. We would like to invite patients, caregivers, and health care providers to share their experiences regarding accessing health care. Your voices can empower change to research, patient-centered care, and most importantly, your community.

STUDY PURPOSE

Understanding the experiences of patients, caregivers, and research participants is important as researchers work to develop new topics to study. The purpose of this study is to create an archive of patient, caregiver, and research participant stories that researchers can use to better understand people's experiences with health, illness, coping, and the healthcare system. Researchers hope their findings will lead to the development of research studies that address topics that are important to patients and caregivers.
