Community and individual resilience for positive health in Indigenous populations at risk for diabetes and cardiovascula

该研究伙伴关系的目标是环境、社区、组织和个人对加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰土著人口中糖尿病及相关病症（包括肥胖、心血管疾病和代谢综合征）的影响。该方案汇集了多个组织部门和多学科小组的加拿大和澳大利亚研究人员，以及在土著健康和慢性病病因学及预防方面具有丰富经验和专业知识的土著社区伙伴，采取战略行动。该伙伴关系建立在最近CIHR全球卫生研究项目发展资助的基础上，由主要研究人员指导；这些活动建立在每个国家的主要申请人和共同申请人之间七年合作的基础上。我们将继续与之合作的许多社区已经收集了基线生化、行为和人体测量数据，我们还将为新招募加入该计划的其他社区收集此类数据。该项目将至少包括22个社区，每个国家至少5个。伙伴关系的“附加价值”将超越基于风险因素的研究和个性化干预，试图在五年的伙伴关系期间将有意义的措施——环境、社区、组织特点和促进健康干预的行动——与社区伙伴的积极健康和改善健康状况的措施联系起来。复原力的概念将从与有利的健康状况和/或有效动员健康干预措施有关的积极的社区和个人能力的角度来讨论，考虑到逆境指标。文化将是弹性研究的综合主题

The research partnership targets environmental, community, organisational and individual influences on diabetes and related conditions including obesity, cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome in Indigenous populations of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The Program brings together for strategic action across multiple organisational sectors and multidisciplinary group of Canadian and Australasian researchers, and indigenous community partners with extensive experience and expertise in Indigenous health and chronic disease aetiology and prevention. The partnership is founded on a recent CIHR global health research program development grant directed by the lead investigators; these activities build on seven years of collaboration between the lead applicants and the co-applicants in each nation. Baseline biochemical, behavioural and anthropometric data have been collected for many communities with which we will continue to work, and such measure will also be collected for additional communities recruited to join the program. A minimum of 22 communities will be included in this program, at least five per country. The �added value� of the partnership will be through going beyond risk factor-based research and individualised interventions in attempting to link meaningful measures environmental, community, organisational characteristics and actions in health promotion intervention, to measures of positive health and improved health status for community partners over a five-year duration of the partnership. The concept of resilience will be addressed in terms of positive community and individual capacities related to favourable health status and-or effective mobilisation for health interventions, accounting for indicators of adversity. Culture will be synthesising theme for research on resiliency
