Pilot Project

这个试点研究项目的目标是探索太平洋岛民（Pis）对生物标本收集、使用和储存的知识、态度和信念。利用基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）模型，本研究将在PI社区成员之间就其决策展开对话

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.
