American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities have historically been subject to unethical research and evaluation practices imposed upon them by outsiders. Given this history and the often, strained relationships between state and tribal governments, tribes can be hesitant to work with and trust state agencies to conduct research and evaluation in their communities. This paper shares a collaborative process undertaken by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, American Indian Tobacco Prevention Specialists, and James Bell Associates, Inc., to successfully develop and implement a locally meaningful evaluation project. Together, we designed a culturally responsive evaluation study to examine the impact of the Montana Tobacco Use Prevention Program being implemented in tribal and urban Indian communities. We co-authored this paper to ensure the perspectives of all three groups were represented. We share lessons learned and recommendations for state agencies, tribes, and urban Indian organizations seeking to evaluate tribal public health programs.
美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）社区历来受到外来者强加给他们的不道德的研究和评估做法的影响。鉴于这段历史以及州政府和部落政府之间经常紧张的关系，部落可能会犹豫是否与州机构合作并信任州机构在其社区进行研究和评估。本文分享了蒙大拿州公共卫生与公众服务部、美国印第安烟草预防专家和James Bell Associates，股份有限公司为成功开发和实施当地有意义的评估项目而进行的合作过程。我们共同设计了一项文化响应性评估研究，以考察蒙大拿州烟草使用预防计划在部落和城市印第安人社区实施的影响。我们共同撰写了这篇论文，以确保所有三个群体的观点都得到了体现。我们为寻求评估部落公共卫生计划的国家机构、部落和印度城市组织分享经验教训和建议。

Participatory research methods increase the quality and relevance of a study and are a key element of community practice. However, participatory methods can be difficult to employ at the outset of a research study with vulnerable, hard-to-reach populations. Intimate partner violence survivors are a particularly vulnerable population who are at increased risk of experiencing abuse-related trauma and have distinct safety-related needs. In order to engage survivor populations, researchers can employ survivor-centered, trauma-informed approaches to build trust and develop relationships that facilitate increased engagement in the research process over time. This paper outlines the methods and strategies that academic partners used to establish, increase, and maintain participatory engagement with women who experienced harm by intimate partners. The process began with a community-based, qualitative needs assessment study for survivors whose partners were in a relationship violence intervention program. In addition to responding to specific aims, this study simultaneously helped to create a pool of potential collaborators. Academic partners used member checking to establish trustworthiness of the study findings and introduce the participants to the concepts of participatory engagement. Next, researchers established an advisory group to develop practice recommendations, which ultimately led to academic and community partners co-designing a community-based dissemination project. We discuss successes and tensions inherent in the engagement process, important lessons learned, and provide recommendations for future community practice.

The veracity of qualitative research is typically measured according to well-established principles of trustworthiness. Adhering to these principles demonstrates that findings are the result of a rigorous methodology and that findings accurately describe the experiences of participants. Member checking is one strategy often utilized to ensure the credibility of the findings, while also generating a valuable opportunity for research participants to actively participate in the analytic process. However, there is limited guidance as to how to conduct member checks that are culturally and contextually relevant to all research participants, particularly if data has been collected in multiple languages with diverse participants. In these instances, researchers must remain vigilant to avoid excluding the voices of participants or designing member checks that might not be culturally and contextually responsive. This article describes a technique --- utilizing “I-poems” --- as an innovative way to conduct the member checking process with a diverse group of survivors of intimate partner violence who participated in a longitudinal evaluation of the services they received. This inclusive and innovative member checking process was found to be a culturally relevant way to maximize participation, minimize power imbalances, and invite research participants to become active partners in the analytic process.

Background: Minority adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors experience disparities in receipt of survivorship care.
Objective: This study describes the infrastructure of a community-partnered participatory research (CPPR) project between a community-based organization and a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center to develop culturally-tailored interventions to improve Latino AYA cancer survivor knowledge regarding their need for survivorship care.
Methods: Research team participants included the community organization and NCI cancer center directors, a research coordinator, a community liaison, and cross-training program interns. Through use of Jones's theoretical framework, additional stakeholders from academic and community settings were identified and invited to participate in the research team. A process evaluation and qualitative interviews were conducted to assess equal partnership between community and academic stakeholders and determine if the infrastructure followed the five core principles of CPPR. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze qualitative data.
Conclusions: CPPR between an NCI-designated cancer center and a community-based organization is a new research model for conducting minority AYA cancer survivor outreach. Open communication was critical in engaging the Latino community to discuss their survivorship needs. Community stakeholders were key to infrastructure success through fostering a cohesive partnership with and acting as the voice of the Latino community. Implementing a cross-training program promoted continued engagement of community members with academic partners. Proper infrastructure development is critical to building successful research partnerships in order to develop culturally-tailored interventions to improve survivorship care knowledge.

Background: Community health improvement processes are diverse and complex, and evaluation methods to gain generalizable knowledge across community are limited by available data, and the need for deep contextual knowledge. Methods: This article describes an innovative participatory approach to evaluation of a community transformation initiative involving up to eighteen communication nationwide. The approach blends two qualitative research synthesis methods: participatory action synthesis and meta-ethnography and applies them to the pragmatic evaluation of a program in real-life settings. Results: In this article, we present the justification for and details about the evaluation process. Four cycles of synthesis and engagement resulted in development of concepts to describe community actions for transformation.Conclusion: The approach presented here will be useful to both researchers and practitioners interested in evaluating community-based health and well-being initiatives and other complex interventions conducted in complex settings.

Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are major Jamaican public health issues. Churches may be untapped settings to extend reach and impact of diabetes and CVD prevention programs, particularly in low-resourced, rural Jamaican areas. We engaged the Jamaican Lifestyles Health Ministry Association Community Action Board in designing and conducting a health needs assessment (HNA) process to identify health conditions, priority health concerns, and potentially relevant intervention strategies to address concerns with their church-community members in rural areas. Findings from the HNA process (survey and community forum) were used by faith leaders to guide the design of a culturally-religiously tailored, multilevel diabetes/CVD risk reduction intervention, Project Faith Influencing Transformation (FIT)-Jamaica (JA). Use of HNA and collaborative intervention design processes were key to successfully completing the design of a faith-based health promotion intervention in JA churches in a timely manner.

Participatory research (PR) encompasses research designs, methods, and frameworks that use systematic inquiry in direct collaboration with those affected by an issue being studied for the purpose of action or change. PR engages those who are not necessarily trained in research but belong to or represent the interests of the people who are the focus of the research. Researchers utilizing a PR approach often choose research methods and tools that can be conducted in a participatory, democratic manner that values genuine and meaningful participation in the research process. This article serves as an introduction to participatory research methods, including an overview of participatory research, terminology across disciplines, elements that make a research method participatory, and a model detailing the choice points that require decisions about which tools and methods will produce the desired level of participation at each stage of the research process. Intentional choices of participatory research methods, tools, and processes can help researchers to more meaningfully engage stakeholders and communities in research, which in turn has the potential to create relevant, meaningful research findings translated to action.
