Between 2005 and 2009, a community-university engagement model with Latino leaders and university faculty and students in rural eastern North Carolina worked to address solutions to health disparities among Latinos. Based on principles of community-based participatory research, this model focused on partnership formation and capacity building. Community partners acquired leadership and research skills. University partners gained a local understanding of Latino health through collaborative community and systems-level initiatives. Mutual benefits were achieved in partnerships established, resources leveraged, and community members reached. These strategies can be replicated in other communities that have an immigrant Latino population, community-oriented, bilingual health professionals, and a university committed to engagement.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div>\n<h4><em>Read the article\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jces.ua.edu\/building-capacity-to-improve-latino-health-in-rural-north-carolina-a-case-study-in-community-university-engagement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>\u00a0or download the entire issue\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jces.ua.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/JCES_Vol5No1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/em><\/h4>\n<h4>Author(s):<\/h4>\n<p>Kim Larson<\/p>\n<p>Chris McQuiston<\/p>\n<h4>Publication Date:<\/h4>\n<p>2012<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jces.ua.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of Community Engagement and Scholarship<\/a>\u00a0(JCES) for kindly allowing URBAN to share this resource. \u00a0JCES is published twice a year at The University of Alabama.
