Summary of Session Goals:
This research in progress discussion will provide a brief overview of community-acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) epidemiology, followed by application of qualitative research in endemic CA-MRSA among children in an insular community to identify both local risk factors and generate hypotheses about etiology, prevention and treatment of CA-MRSA colonization and infection.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand basic clinical aspects of CA-MRSA transmission, colonization and infection
2. Appreciate role of qualitative methods in translational research as applied to a case study of endemic CA-MRSA
3. Identify opportunities for meaningful community engagement as part of research to improve population health
