Adapting a Health Impact Assessment Tool for Community-Engaged Research to Improve Health Equity Measurements for NIH RADx-UP Pilot Projects.
Article in Community health equity research & policy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) supported the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program, which aims to ensure that all Americans have access to COVID-19 testing and promotes health equity, especially in underserved communities. Under RADx-UP, there are two pilot programs - Community Collaboration Grants (C2G) and Rapid Research Pilot Program (RP2) - that fund projects to conduct community-engaged outreach and research to address COVID-19 testing disparities. As such, we sought to assess projects' health equity impacts within their priority populations. Our evaluation team used cognitive interviews with C2G and RP2 project representatives to revise health equity metrics within an existing Health Impact Assessment (HIA) tool to measure health equity impacts within these community-engaged research projects. During interviews, participants indicated that we needed to improve the clarity and readability of key terms and phrases related to health equity, and they provided suggestions for how to tailor metrics to community partners. In this paper, we highlight our process of adapting the original metrics and share lessons learned that other evaluators may apply to their work. Our project highlights the importance of cognitive interviewing as a critical methodology to tailor an existing pilot-tested HIA to a community-based audience; however, it also sheds light on the difficulties of measuring health equity within community-engaged research initiatives and future recommendations.
