Together using a community-based participatory research approach, Michigan CEAL aims to identify and implement effective, community-driven strategies that enhance access and inclusion of marginalized communities in COVID-19 research and prevention to reduce health inequities across the state of Michigan. Michigan CEAL focuses on alleviating the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 among low income and communities of color in Wayne, Genesee, Kent, and Washtenaw Counties.
