American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have increasing rates of chronic diseases and other health problems that have known preventable risk factors. Yet AI/AN health professionals and researchers are few in number. Because of past negative experiences with outside researchers, AI/AN communities do not always view health research favorably. This article reviews health and related research issues as well as to recommend improving interaction among community and all researchers.
美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）患慢性病和其他健康问题的比例不断上升，而这些问题都有已知的可预防风险因素。然而，AI/AN健康专业人员和研究人员数量稀少。由于过去与外部研究人员的负面经历，AI/AN社区并不总是对健康研究持积极态度。本文回顾了健康及相关研究问题，并建议改善社区与所有研究人员之间的互动。
