| Abstract | BackgroundHistorical injustices, structural racism, and negative healthcare experiences contribute to Black and Brown communities' distrust of science. Bridging Research, Accurate Information, and Dialogue (BRAID) is a community engagement model that leverages trusted messengers to share accurate, co-created health and science messages to their community through their social networks. In our prior research, trusted messengers reported encountering resistance or "discord" when conveying information about controversial topics such as COVID-19 vaccines and the importance of diversity in clinical trials. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based communication style widely practiced by healthcare providers to guide ambivalent patients toward behavior change. However, MI's application by community members, particularly trusted messengers, as a strategy for enhancing health message dissemination remains unexplored.PurposeThis study used mixed methods to explore the feasibility of training trusted messengers in MI to support the dissemination of public health messages through social networks. Specifically, we sought to understand perspectives on learning MI and use of MI in conversations about clinical trial diversity and research subject protection.Research Design13 trusted messengers completed a MI introductory training.ResultsEighty-five percent found the training highly valuable, 54% reported high self-efficacy, and 69% expressed a desire for additional training. Qualitative analysis revealed trusted messenger endorsement of MI, recognition of MI's applicability to various contexts, and a sense of empowerment to share accurate information to their communities.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that empowering trusted messengers with communication skills can be a practical, feasible, and cost-effective public health strategy for effective dissemination of accurate public health messages. |
