Codeveloping and implementing an Indigenous mentoring program for Native American faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
Exploring personal, relational, and collective experiences and mentorship connections that enhance or inhibit professional development and career advancement of native American faculty in STEM fields:…
Our Relationship to Water and Experience of Water Insecurity among Apsáalooke (Crow Indian) People, Montana
Affordable access to safe drinking water is essential to community health, yet there is limited understanding of water insecurity among Native Americans. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to describe Apsáalooke (Crow Indian) tribal members' experiences with water insecurity. For Apsáalooke people, local rivers and springs are still vitally important for traditional cultural activities. We interviewed 30 Native American adults living on the Cr…
Too Dense and Too Detailed: Evaluation of the Health Literacy Attributes of an Informed Consent Document
Developing a Curriculum for Change: Water and Environmental Health Literacy in a Native American Community
Project partners built on the mutual commitment to "do what we say we will do" within the community context. Using the CBPR approach provided a strong framework for the collaboration necessary for this project. Trust relationships were key to the successes experienced during the development, implementation, and multiple revisions of this intervention
Diabetes prevention among American Indians: The role of self-efficacy, risk perception, numeracy and cultural identity
The theoretical framework may benefit from inclusion of further contextual factors that influence these behaviors. Attention to numeracy skills stands out in our study as an important influence on the RPA framework, highlighting the importance of attending to numeracy when targeting and tailoring risk information to participants segmented by the RPA framework

What Touched Your Heart? Collaborative Story Analysis Emerging From an Apsáalooke Cultural Context
Community-based participatory research and decolonizing research share some recommendations for best practices for conducting research. One commonality is partnering on all stages of research; co-developing methods of data analysis is one stage with a deficit of partnering examples. We present a novel community-based and developed method for analyzing qualitative data within an Indigenous health study and explain incompatibilities of existing met…
Adapting Western Research Methods to Indigenous Ways of Knowing
Indigenous communities have long experienced exploitation by researchers and increasingly require participatory and decolonizing research processes. We present a case study of an intervention research project to exemplify a clash between Western research methodologies and Indigenous methodologies and how we attempted reconciliation. We then provide implications for future research based on lessons learned from Native American community partners w…
Evaluating Community-Based Participatory Research to Improve Community-Partnered Science and Community Health
Study methodologies and lessons learned can help community-academic research partnerships translate research in communities
