Community-engaged research is an essential component of research and practice aimed at addressing health inequalities and promoting health equity. Interest in community engagement has grown enormously over the past several decades. Although the popularity of community-engaged scholarly work has increased and is being embraced by more academics and funding institutions, it still does not get the priority it deserves. Authentic community engagement, especially in health, remains a challenge for many academics, especially those who work in cross-cultural settings or with marginalized populations. This chapter examines the concept of community engagement and its complexities, and describes some frameworks of community engagement and how academics can engage communities in research and practice. It concludes with a brief overview of key ingredients and ethical considerations in the community engagement process.
