摘要

Health disparities refer to preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, and opportunities to achieve optimal health experienced by marginalized populations. Addressing these disparities requires more than traditional top-down approaches to interventions. One promising strategy is co-designing interventions directly with communities impacted by inequities. Co-design is a collaborative process where community members and researchers work together to identify needs, develop solutions, and implement tailored interventions to address inequities. However, practical guidance on rigorously co-designing interventions is critically needed. In this methodological piece, we provide a framework for integrating co-design approaches with a rigorous intervention adaptation methodology: Assessment, Decision, Adaptation, Production, Topical Experts, Integration, Training, and Testing (ADAPT-ITT), based on the experiences of a unique, multidisciplinary investigator team working across family, healthcare, justice, and community systems. The current paper presents a novel framework to systematically embed co-design principles and ADAPT-ITT with clear guidance to support efforts among others seeking to integrate these two synergistic methods. ADAPT-ITTs eight phases are outlined with suggestions on infusing co-design principles and values to bolster the adaptation and development of salient interventions to address health disparities.
