We studied community-based participatory research in American Indian/Alaska Native communities. We have presented a case study describing a community-clinic-academic partnership with the goal of building tribal capacity and infrastructure to conduct health disparities research. The 2-year intensive training was guided by the framework of an evidence- and community-based participatory research curriculum, adapted and implemented with practice-based data collection activities and seminars to address issues specific to community-based participatory research with sovereign tribal nations. The initiative highlighted important challenges and opportunities in transdisciplinary partnerships; identified gaps in conducting health disparities research at the tribal, clinical, and university levels; and led to important policy change initiatives in all the partner settings.
我们在美国印第安/阿拉斯加原住民社区开展了基于社区的参与性研究。我们呈现了一个案例研究，描述了社区、诊所和学术机构之间的合作关系，其目标是建设部落能力和基础设施，以开展健康差异研究。为期两年的强化培训以基于证据和社区的参与性研究课程框架为指导，通过基于实践的数据收集活动和研讨会进行调整和实施，以解决与主权部落国家开展基于社区的参与性研究的特定问题。该倡议突出了跨学科合作中的重要挑战和机遇；确定了部落、临床和大学层面在开展健康差异研究方面的差距；并在所有合作伙伴环境中引发了重要的政策变革倡议。
