Disseminating research on community health and well-being: a collaboration between Alaska Native villages and the academe.

Abstract

Collaboration between Alaska Native communities and the academe is very important. This project focused on disseminating research findings to communities in a manner that is culturally appropriate and useful in planning the communities' next steps. The project relied on a collaborative process, described in terms of the activities that transpired, the approaches taken, the challenges, the lessons learned, and some examples of the final disseminated material.
