Abstract：
This paper explores the concept of \"community-engaged research\" (CEnR) within the context of Veteran health care delivery and reintegration programs. A multi-sector expert panel (msExP) was formed to evaluate and make recommendations on Veteran community reintegration research and programs. The panel consisted of Veterans, care partners, clinical providers, researchers, community stakeholders, and subject matter experts. The paper examines the composition and lifecycle of the panel, highlighting the characteristics and experiences of the participants. Shifts in the panel\'s purpose and engagement levels occurred in response to unanticipated disruptions, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic. The transformation of the panel emphasizes the importance of aligning individual and group needs and deepening intrapersonal relationships Findings based on observations, surveys, and interviews with panel members contribute to the field of community-engaged research by demonstrating the utility of catalytic validity that balances group and individual development. As part of a broader study on Veteran reintegration, the panel and its development over time allowed for various perspectives on Veteran experiences and reintegration within the community that shaped the overall project. Despite the challenges of developing and maintaining a panel alongside a research study, feedback from the panel members on their participation provides insight into the potential for future working alliances in community-engaged health research.
摘要：
本文在退伍军人医疗保健提供和重返社会计划的背景下探讨了“社区参与研究”（CEnR）的概念。成立了一个多部门专家小组（msExP），以评估退伍军人社区重返社会研究和计划并提出建议。小组由退伍军人组成，护理伙伴，临床提供者，研究人员,社区利益相关者，和主题专家。本文研究了小组的组成和生命周期，突出参与者的特点和经验。小组的目的和参与水平发生了变化，以应对意外中断，特别是COVID-19大流行。ThetransformationofthepanelemphasizestheimportanceofalignatureindividualandgroupneedsanddeadinginpersonalrelationshipsFindingsbasedonobservations,调查,与小组成员的访谈通过证明平衡群体和个人发展的催化有效性的效用，为社区参与研究领域做出了贡献。作为关于退伍军人重返社会的更广泛研究的一部分，该小组及其随着时间的推移的发展允许对退伍军人的经验和社区内的重返社会形成整体项目的各种观点。尽管在研究研究的同时开发和维护小组面临挑战，小组成员对他们参与的反馈提供了对社区参与健康研究未来工作联盟潜力的见解。
