Southwest Tribal Native American Research Center for Health (NARCH X)

项目名称：西南部落NIGHTX中心概况 首席执行官/首席执行官：Kevin English博士 项目概要/摘要 西南部落NIGHTX的总体目标是加强研究伙伴关系， 部落间组织（阿尔伯克基地区印第安人健康委员会），五个学术机构（大学） 新墨西哥州、新墨西哥州州立大学、亚利桑那州州立大学、魁北克大学和蒙特利尔大学 华盛顿大学），和27个部落组成的印度卫生服务（IHS）阿尔伯克基地区， 参与有意义和严格的健康研究，以解决持续存在的健康差距， 美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）在西南部，同时促进AI/AN学者的干部， 健康研究专业人士。我们的合作伙伴关系将建立在我们成功的历史基础上， 在NATURAL I、NATURAL III、NATURAL V和NATURAL VII中开展合作，以支持卫生研究项目 在我们地区的AI/AN社区优先考虑。我们中心的具体组成部分将包括：1）AI/AN 学生职业提升项目，包括为AI/AN学生提供的研究人员培训计划， 为AI/AN研究生提供财政援助，并建立强有力的社区-学术伙伴关系，以加强 AI/AN学生管道健康科学学位课程; 2）一个名为“室内氡”的研究项目 部落社区的接触和氡相关癌症发病率”，以创建预测空间模型 新墨西哥州北方部落社区室内氡暴露风险的研究; 3）第二个研究项目 标题为“来自西南部的韧性故事”，将利用基于优势和叙事研究 确定复原力因素的方法，以制定基于文化的干预模式， 4）一个名为“部落马辅助心理治疗：建立青年复原力”的试点研究项目 通过马”，这将测试马辅助心理治疗（EAP）的疗效作为一个补充， 对高危AI/AN青少年进行干预，并制定一份文化上知情的EAP实施指南， 5）第二个试点研究项目，题为“利益相关者确定的人工智能/人工智能的需求和优先事项 残疾儿童”，以描述AI/AN残疾儿童的经历和需求 在不同的AI/AN文化和环境中，为了使用企业主参与的过程来开发一个 适当的文化干预，以改善AI/AN CWD的健康和生活质量;以及6） 行政核心，将a）对中心及其组成部分进行全面领导和协调; B）维持西南部落若虫社区和科学咨询理事会（CSAC），以确保 对所有组成部分和活动进行严格的部落监督;以及c）支持 西南部落机构审查委员会（IRB）将伦理健康研究的好处推广到 部落，并通过给予部落更大的控制权，减少AI/AN社区对研究和研究人员的不信任。 研究过程。

PROJECT TITLE: Southwest Tribal NARCH X Center Overview PROGRAM DIRECTOR/PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Dr. Kevin English Project Summary/Abstract The overarching goal of the Southwest Tribal NARCH X is to strengthen research partnerships among an intertribal organization (Albuquerque Area Indian Health Board, Inc.), five academic institutions (University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, Arizona State University, Université du Québec a Montréal, and the University of Washington), and the 27 Tribes that comprise the Indian Health Service (IHS) Albuquerque Area, to engage in meaningful and rigorous health research to address persistent health disparities witnessed among American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) in the Southwest, while promoting a cadre of AI/AN scholars and health research professionals. Together, the partnership will build upon our successful prior history of collaboration in NARCH I, NARCH III, NARCH V, and NARCH VII to support health research projects prioritized by the AI/AN communities in our region. Specific components of our Center will include: 1) an AI/AN Student Career Enhancement Project that incorporates a researcher training program for AI/AN students, financial assistance to AI/AN graduate students, and robust community-academic partnerships to strengthen AI/AN student pipelines to health science degree programs; 2) a research project titled “Indoor Radon Exposure and Radon-Associated Cancer Incidence in Tribal Communities”, to create a predictive spatial model of indoor radon exposure risk for tribal communities in northern New Mexico; 3) a second research project titled, “Stories of Resilience from the Southwest” that will utilize a strengths-based and narrative research approach to identify factors of resiliency to develop culturally-based intervention models to decrease health disparities; 4) a pilot research project titled, “Tribal Equine Assisted Psychotherapy: Building Youth Resiliency Through Horses” that will test the efficacy of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) as a complementary intervention with at-risk AI/AN adolescents and develop a culturally informed EAP implementation guide for use in tribal settings; 5) a second pilot research project titled “Stakeholder-Identified Needs and Priorities for AI/AN Children with Disabilities” to characterize the experience and needs of AI/AN children with disabilities (CWD) across diverse AI/AN cultures and settings in order to use stakeholder-engaged processes to develop a culturally-appropriate intervention to improve the health and quality of life of AI/AN CWD; and 6) the administrative core, which will a) provide overall leadership and coordination to the Center and its components; b) maintain the Southwest Tribal NARCH Community and Scientific Advisory Council (CSAC) to ensure rigorous tribal oversight of all components and activities; and c) support the continued operation of the Southwest Tribal Institutional Review Board (IRB) to advance the benefits of ethical health research to area tribes and reduce AI/AN community distrust of research and researchers by giving tribes greater control over the research process.
