ABSTRACT
A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews leaders in community-based organizations, health care, and local public health to understand organizational perspectives of collaboration for health equity and identify opportunities to improve collaboration. Twelve leaders were interviewed from March through May 2023 in Kent County, Michigan. All leaders saw collaboration as valuable for advancing health equity. Key themes that affected collaboration and could be a facilitator or barrier to advancing health equity in the community were inclusion, power, relationships, resources, and organizational traits. Leaders articulated the following factors as those that support collaboration for health equity authentic inclusion, shared decision-making, taking time to foster trusting relationships, adequate resources to support the infrastructure needed for collaborations, organizational flexibility, and individual commitment. Building partnerships with these facilitators in mind may result in more robust, sustainable, and resilient collaboratives.
