• Provide an overview of the role that communities can play in creating their own health, as they themselves define it

• Offer advice on how health care and sectors skilled at community building through shared decision-making can better understand how their priorities, and those of communities, relate to each other and how they can work hand-in-hand
• Offer resources and tools to help develop agreement on priorities among diverse perspectives
• Share examples from panelists with community outreach, research, and clinical experience” [Source: SSIR]
