OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Youth and Families Determined to Succeed (YFDS), a non-profit organization in Hennepin County, MN, provides programs to address health disparities and increase health equity in diverse families. The objective of this capacity building community engaged research study was to identify factors and opportunities to expand YFDS. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A community partnered participatory research framework using 3 community engaged (CE) studies was conducted. This structured research process involves a facilitated discussion with a presentation on YFDS programming and a guided discussion with YFDS stakeholders. The theoretical foundation included constructs from the Model of Improvement and Health Belief Model. A trained qualitative research team led the discussion, took detailed notes, and used traditional content analysis to thematically code the notes (n = 29 pages). The studios were not audio recorded for confidentiality. Preliminary findings were presented to YFDS leadership with plans to present the results to YFDS stakeholders and families. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A total of 16 YFDS past and current members participated in the studios. The average age was 42.5 years with 69% female and 75% black participants. The main themes were YFDS programming, outreach, and partnership. Participants mentioned YFDS youth “gained confidence”, found an additional family, and suggested ways to increase outreach and partnerships. Participants suggested YFDS increase their social media presence, create multicultural programing, partner with faith based organizations and schools, and determine new ways to evaluate health, social, and athletic gains. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: YFDS has positively impacted the lives of their families. With the use of CE studios, we have the opportunity to hear the voices of the members impacted that is necessary for capacity building community engaged research. We were able to find factors that made YFDS successful and suggestions to better improve and to increase positive wellness gains.

BACKGROUND Gingivitis is a non-painful reversible gum inflammation, untreated, it progresses and teeth may be lost. According to the Health Belief Model, individuals take action when they perceive there is a risk to their health, and prioritize the benefits of seeking treatment over the obstacles. The asymptomatic nature of gingivitis leads people to postpone dental appointments until the clinical signs are obvious and pain is evident. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has necessitated social distancing that probably caused many people to postpone dental visits. iGAM is dental mHealth app that remotely monitors gum health, an observational study demonstrated the ability of iGAM to reduce gingivitis. OBJECTIVE This mixed-methods study assessed perceptions, attitudes, willingness to pay and willingness to use an mHealth app. METHODS The research process was divided into 2 phases. Qualitative (8 semi-structures interviews) and quantitative (121 questionnaires) data collection methods. RESULTS 3 themes emerged from the interviews: 1) The iGAM app is capable of improving health; 2) lack of use of medical applications; 3) a contradiction between the objective state of health and the self-definition of being healthy. When analyzing the responses to the questionnaires, the participants were grouped according to whether they believed that mHealth apps can improve health. Subjects who believed that mHealth apps can enhance health (M = 1.96, SD = 1.01) had a higher willingness to pay for the service (depending on price) than subjects who did not believe in app efficacy (M = 1.31, SD = 0.87), {T (119) = - 2,417, p = .017}. A significant positive correlation was found between the amount a subject was willing to pay and the benefits the app offers (rs = .185, p = .043). CONCLUSIONS Potential mHealth users will be willing pay for app use depending on their perception of the ability of the app to help them personally, provided they define themselves as currently unhealthy.

Societal Problems

Researchers need to observe complex problems from various angles and contexts to create workable, effective and sustainable solutions. For complex societal problems, including health and socioeconomic disparities, cross-sectoral collaborative research is crucial. It allows for meaningful interaction between various actors around a particular real-world problem through a process of mutual learning. This collaboration builds a sustainable, trust-based partnership among the stakeholders and allows for a thorough understanding of the problem through a solution-oriented lens. While the created knowledge benefits the community, the community is generally less involved in the research process. Often, community members are engaged to collect data or for consultancy and knowledge dissemination; however, they are not involved in the actual research process, for example, developing a research question and using research tools such as conducting focus groups, analysis and interpretation. To be involved on these levels, there is a need for building community capacity for research. However, due to a lack of funds, resources and interest in building capacity on the part of both researchers and the community, deeper and meaningful involvement of community members in research becomes less viable. In this article, we reflect on how we have designed our programme of research—from involving community members at different levels of the research process to building capacity with them. We describe the activities community members participated in based on their needs and capacity. Capacity-building strategies for each level of involvement with the community members are also outlined.
