Pilot Project

这项先导研究项目的目标是探索太平洋岛民(PI)对生物杀虫剂的收集、使用和银行处理的知识、态度和信念。利用基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)模式，这项研究将在PI社区成员之间就他们的决定展开对话 围绕参与生物医学研究，特别是生物标本的收集、使用和储存，制定流程。这项定性研究的结果将提供南加州马绍尔人、夏威夷原住民、萨摩亚人、查莫罗人和汤加人社区的全景PI视角，为医疗保健提供信息 提供者、研究人员和政策制定者就未来对PI人群进行的研究和干预实践进行讨论。

The goal of this pilot research project is to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs that Pacific Islanders (Pis) hold about biospecimen collection, use, and banking. Utilizing a community-based participatory research (CBPR) model, this study will initiate a dialogue among PI community members regarding their decision making processes around participation in biomedical research, in particular, the collection, use, and storage of biospecimens. Findings from this qualitative study will provide a pan PI perspective from Marshallese, Native Hawaiian, Samoan, Chamorro, and Tongan communities in Southern California that will inform health care providers, researchers, and policy makers on the conduct of future research and intervention practices with PI populations.
