Implementing capacity-building initiatives addressing health equity through community-academic partnerships: A qualitative study.
Article in Translational behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCapacity-building is a common goal of community-academic partnerships, but there are literature gaps in the components of capacity-building efforts that support success and how implementation science can contribute to these efforts. We studied the core components and implementation determinants of capacity-building initiatives carried out through Chicagoland CEAL community-academic partnerships.
methodsWe conducted seven focus group discussions with 26 community organization representatives and researchers exploring six capacity-building initiatives. We used Juckett et al.'s typology to summarize the initiatives' core components and grouped emerging themes on implementation determinants according to the domains and constructs of the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) implementation science framework.
resultsThe core components of the capacity-building initiatives varied widely in their use of didactic, practical application, knowledge-sharing, and technical assistance activities, but the implementation barriers and facilitators showed greater consistency. Bridging factors: Findings demonstrated the importance of developing mutually beneficial, trusting relationships among community-academic partners with clear goals. Innovation factors: Tailoring capacity-building activities to populations' needs and adapting over time were notable facilitators. Outer context: Flexible funding supported implementation, while social climate and local infrastructure limitations were barriers. Inner context: Barriers included competing priorities, space limitations, and staff availability.
conclusionsOur findings on core components, barriers, and facilitators can promote the equitable implementation of capacity-building initiatives carried out by community-academic partnerships. Our study addresses calls to place greater emphasis on health equity and attention to context in the field of implementation science. Our findings further strengthen the literature on the EPIS framework through practical application.
