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

项目名称：西南部落纳奇X中心概述 项目主任/首席研究员：凯文·英格利希博士 项目摘要/摘要 西南部落NARCH X的首要目标是加强 部落间组织(阿尔伯克基地区印度卫生局，Inc.)、五个学术机构(#大学 新墨西哥、新墨西哥州立大学、亚利桑那州立大学、魁北克大学和 华盛顿大学)，以及组成印度卫生服务(IHS)阿尔伯克基地区的27个部落， 从事有意义和严谨的健康研究，以解决 美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民(AI/ANS)在西南部，同时促进AI/AN学者和 健康研究专业人士。共同努力，这一伙伴关系将建立在我们之前成功的 在NARCH I、NARCH III、NARCH V和NARCH VII中进行协作，以支持卫生研究项目 被我们地区的人工智能/人工智能社区优先考虑。我们中心的具体组件包括：1)a AI/an 学生职业提升项目，其中包括针对人工智能/人工智能学生的研究人员培训计划， 为AI/AN研究生提供财政援助，并加强社区-学术伙伴关系 AI/AN学生计划攻读健康科学学位课程；2)一个名为《室内氡》的研究项目 部落社区中的暴露与氡相关癌症发病率“，以创建一个预测性空间模型 新墨西哥州北部部落社区的室内氡暴露风险；3)第二项研究项目 题为《来自西南的韧性故事》，它将利用基于优势的叙事研究 确定弹性因素的方法，以开发基于文化的干预模式来降低健康 差异；4)一个试验性研究项目，题为“部落马辅助心理治疗：建立青年复原力 这将检验马匹辅助心理治疗(EAP)作为补充的有效性 对高危AI/AN青少年进行干预，并制定一份了解文化知识的EAP实施指南 在部落环境中；5)第二个试点研究项目，题为“利益攸关方确定的人工智能/人工智能的需求和优先事项” 《残疾儿童》，描述AI/AN残疾儿童(CWD)的经历和需求 跨不同的人工智能/人工智能文化和环境，以便使用利益相关者参与的流程来制定 文化上适当的干预措施，以改善人工智能/慢性慢性病的健康和生活质量；以及6) 行政核心，将a)为中心及其构成部分提供全面领导和协调； B)维持西南部落纳奇社区和科学咨询理事会(CSAC)以确保 对所有构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该地区 通过赋予部落更大的控制权来减少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.
