Community Engagement
NYU Langone Health, Mount Sinai’s Institute for Health Equity Research, the Institute for Family Health, and a network of community-based organizations across New York City have partnered to engage communities in efforts to promote health and well-being by addressing concerns about the vaccine, supporting mental health and well-being, and educating on misinformation in the news.

Mini-Grants 2023-2024
We are thrilled to be able to support our community partners as they pilot new initiatives to improve mental health, mental wellbeing, and connection in their communities.

Research
NYCEAL’s formative research informs the approach and strategies we use to promote vaccine confidence and equity in New York City communities.
Through community engaged research, we continue to learn how community members feel about COVID-19 vaccines, where they get their updated COVID-19 information from, and what messages they trust and why. We then tailor our message delivery, resource development, and activities to increase access in areas of need.
