Summary of a CBPR Study Engaging the Food Service Worker Stakeholder Community and Scientists to Respond to Key COVID-19 Pandemic Concerns. The outside arrows show that community members and scientists were engaged in iterative feedback processes that encompassed all aspects of the project, from the proposal to methodology to findings to dissemination. The collaboratively designed funding proposal focused on three key issues (health and safety, stress and mental health, and long-term impact), which were studied using a combination of methods, a survey (S), three focus groups (FG), and a rapid qualitative assessment (RQA). Findings identified key concerns within each of the three topic areas. The project informed future research priorities, outreach activities, and plans for ongoing and future programs and policy initiatives
