Community-based Participatory Research

“CBPR in health is a collaborative approach to

research that equitably involves all partners in the

research process and recognizes the unique

strengths that each brings. CBPR begins with a

research topic of importance to the community

and has the aim of combining knowledge with

action and achieving social change to improve

health outcomes and eliminate health

disparities.” - W.K. Kellogg Foundation

P2W Cultural Adaptation

Addressing “deep structure”

Locating and building on urban Indian culture

“What makes cultural adaptation

successful is the translation of not just

language but also core principles and

treatment concepts so that they

become meaningful to the culturally

targeted group while still maintaining

fidelity.”

Big Foot & Schmidt (2010).

Deep Structure Adaptations

Starting point emphasis on

traditional culture as a strength

Holistic-circular learning:

Whole-to-part-to-whole versus linear

Storytelling

Change terminology to reflect AI

worldview on parenting: “guiding” versus

“disciplining,” “managing”, setting boundaries”

(Re-)creating parenting communities, network

TRADITIONS are knowledge, beliefs, and customs

that are passed from one generation to another

often by word of mouth or by example.

NORMS are what we do, and what is accepted as

“normal” in the society in which we live.

VALUES are principles or ideals that are important to

each of us.
