Center for Health Research in Tribes in SD-MT-WY Title

阿伯丁地区部落健康研究中心的设计是建立在由Sanford Research/USD在其P20项目出口赠款下开发和实施的部落分解研究模型（Fisher & Ball，2002）的基础上，目前正处于资助的第五年（#5P20MD001631）。该模型提供了一个示范性的例子，部落社区和大学/研究中心之间的有效和互利的合作关系，指导了本赠款申请的开发和在每个核心领域中描述的方法。该模式的关键要素包括： 1)在研究人员和参与研究的部落社区之间建立关系和信任; 2)让部落代表参与研究和方案活动的设计，以确保部落文化、传统和社区资源得到适当的整合; 3)让部落成员和组织参与研究活动和干预措施，并为部落的参与提供资金; 4)为与研究团队合作的部落成员提供培训和技术援助，以培养开展干预活动、数据收集和其他研究相关活动的技能; 5)持续提供关于所有研究和其他项目活动的中期和最后报告，以确保所产生的信息可供部落使用。 健康研究中心与阿伯丁地区部落将保持这些原则，部落参与和参与研究，社区推广和信息传播，以及研究教育和培训活动，将与阿伯丁地区的部落进行。 在准备这项拨款申请期间，与部落和阿伯丁地区部落主席健康委员会（AATCHB）工作人员进行了讨论，以确定卓越中心下研究和社区外联活动的部落优先事项。该协会的工作人员表示，该地区各部落认为，以妇女健康问题为重点的健康促进/预防工作是一项高度优先的工作， 要务在此指导下，开发了两项研究，将在此研究核心下进行：一项研究将评估一组美国印第安妇女的压力性尿失禁护理模式，第二个项目将调查健康促进的有效模式，以改善孕前健康。

The Center for Health Research with Aberdeen Area Tribes has been designed to build on the Tribal Participatory Research Model (Fisher & Ball, 2002) that has been developed and implemented by Sanford Research/USD under their P20 Project EXPORT grant, currently in it's fifth year of funding (#5P20MD001631). This model provides an exemplary example of effective and mutually beneficial collaborative relationships between tribal communities and universities/research centers that have guided the development of this grant application and the approaches that are described in each of the Core Areas. Key elements of the model include: 1) building relationships and trust between the researchers and the Tribal communities that participate in research studies; 2) involving Tribal representatives in the design of research and program activities to ensure that Tribal culture, traditions, and community resources are appropriately incorporated; 3) involving Tribal members and organizations in the conduct of research activities and interventions, and providing funding for this Tribal involvement; 4) providing training and technical assistance to Tribal members who work with research teams to build skills for conducting intervention activities, data collection, and other research-related activities; and 5) providing interim and final reports on all research and other project activities, on an ongoing basis, to ensure that the information produced is available to Tribes for their use. The Center for Health Research with Aberdeen Area Tribes will maintain these principles for Tribal participation and involvement in the research, community outreach and information dissemination, and research education and training activities that will be conducted with the Tribes in the Aberdeen Area. During the preparation of this grant application, discussions were conducted with the Tribes and the Aberdeen Area Tribal Chairmen's Health Board (AATCHB) staff to identify Tribal priorities for the research and community outreach activities under the Center for Excellence. The AATCHB staff indicated that health promotion/prevention focused on women's health issues had been identified by Tribes in the region as a high priority. With this guidance, the two research studies were developed that would be conducted under this Research Core: one research study will evaluate a model of care for stress urinary incontinence in a group of American Indian women and the second project will investigate effective models for health promotion to improve preconception health.
