F2L2F Research Philosophy

CROSH embodies a FIELD- to LAB- to FIELD (F2L2F) research philosophy with the goal of achieving PREVENTION THROUGH RESEARCH. Through community consultation and engagement CROSH researchers identify critical research questions. We engage in innovative FIELD research to understand the problem, develop evidence-based interventions in the LAB, and evaluate the interventions in the FIELD.
