Breast and cervical cancers continue to contribute to high cancer mortality rates in American Indian/Alaska Native women; culturally appropriate interventions are needed to influence screening behaviors and to reduce delays in obtaining care. In a pilot feasibility study designed to influence Pacific Northwest American Indian/Alaska Native women's health screening knowledge and behaviors (breast and cervical), we employed a community-based participatory research approach. Data from interviews with study participants, those involved in implementation of the study and observations were included in the analysis. Study questions focused on training of staff, recruitment of participants, and implementation of the protocol and data management. The complexities of translational, transcultural research and the importance of reporting pilot feasibility studies to the advancement of transcultural research are highlighted in the findings of this research effort.
乳腺癌和宫颈癌仍然是导致美国印第安/阿拉斯加原住民女性癌症死亡率居高不下的原因；需要采取符合文化习俗的干预措施来影响筛查行为，并减少获得护理方面的延误。在一项旨在影响太平洋西北地区美国印第安/阿拉斯加原住民女性健康筛查知识和行为（乳腺癌和宫颈癌）的试点可行性研究中，我们采用了基于社区的参与性研究方法。对研究参与者、参与研究实施的人员进行访谈以及观察所得的数据都纳入了分析。研究问题集中在工作人员培训、参与者招募、方案实施和数据管理方面。这项研究工作的结果突出了转化性跨文化研究的复杂性以及向跨文化研究进展报告试点可行性研究的重要性。
