Abstract
Research around probable solutions to immigrants accessing health care in Canada is not extensive, and the perspective of immigrant communities on priorities and potential solutions has not been captured effectively. The purpose of this article is to describe a research initiative that involved grassroots community members as producers of research priorities on primary care access issues. This study aimed to seek input from an immigrant community in Calgary, Canada. Members of the Bangladeshi community of Calgary were asked through a survey to rank 10 predefined primary care access topics as to what they felt constituted priorities for solution-oriented research (1, highest; 10, lowest). We used frequencies and percentages to describe the participant demographics. Ratings of preferred research themes were analyzed on the basis of relative weighted priority rank. We received 432 responses: 51.2% female; 58.9% aged 36 to 55 years; 90.5% had university-level education; 46.2% immigrated to Canada between 10 and 19 years ago; 82.5% employed full/part-time or self-employed. Lack of resources, lack of knowledge, health care cost, and workplace-related barriers were among the top-ranked topics identified as solution-oriented research priorities. Through partnerships and reciprocal learning, public input can increase insider perspectives to help develop interventions that align with the needs of community members.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
