“…Second, even with resilience concepts more firmly cemented, communities now struggle with how to transfer resilience frameworks into actual integrative action (Landau, 2007;Mooney-Somers & Maher, 2009;O'Donnell, Schwab-Stone, & Muyeed, 2002). For example, how should local health departments take the guidance in the National Health Security Strategy on resilience and use it to integrate their public health, health care, and emergency management systems (e.g., through coalitions, guidance on how to scale up through leveraging partners).…”

An Agenda to Advance Integrative Resilience Research and Practice ii PrefaceResilience can be defined as the capacity of a dynamic system, such as a community, to anticipate and adapt successfully to challenges. In recent years, the range of social and physical stresses that people and communities experience has multiplied. Official declarations of natural, manmade, and technological disasters in the United States (and globally) have increased in the past decade. Further, these acute events combine with the stress and strain from economic challenges and environmental stress, affecting many populations and communities chronically. In this context, the science and practice of how to foster resilience for both individuals and communities has grown in scope. Much of this work has centered on the factors that make individuals and communities more resilient and the interventions that can build resilience. Today, many researchers, policymakers, and practitioners are leading and funding efforts to determine the most effective ways to build the resilience capacity and capability of individuals and organizations.The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is interested in supporting the health and development of people and communities, which is reflected in their contributions to the fields of individual and community resilience. This report summarizes work conducted jointly by researchers from the RAND Corporation and RWJF on a potential future research and practice agenda in resilience, uniquely bridging individual and community resilience research and practice across sectors. The report provides a path forward primarily built on proceedings from a Resilience Roundtable, held in June 2016, and supplemented with relevant literature review. The meeting convened by RWJF in collaboration with RAND explored the state of the resilience field and opportunities for further development. The meeting brought together researchers across disciplines as well as practitioners and policymakers across sectors for a day-long discussion of the topic. The goal was to identify where and how we can move to a more integrated and cohesive resilience agenda, with attention to critical factors that would motivate more collaborative work.

“…The pro-forma consisted of specific demographic and informational questions and broader questions designed to elicit stories about experiences of using health services, accessing condoms, and discussing BBV/STI with sexual partners. In addition to verbatim interview notes, the pro-forma included space for the researchers to record their impressions of the interview and participant, and indicate if they had referred the participant to any services or given them information or BBV/STI resources (for a discussion of 'no research without service' see Mooney-Somers & Maher, 2009a). …”

The Indigenous Resilience Project is an Australian community-based participatory research project using qualitative methods to explore young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's views of blood borne viral and sexually transmitted infections (BBV/STI) affecting their communities. In this paper we present an analysis of narratives from young people who had a previous BBV/STI diagnosis to explore how they actively negotiate the experience of BBV/STI infection to construct a classic resilience narrative. We examine two overarching themes: first, the context of infection and diagnosis, including ignorance of STI/BBV prior to infection/diagnosis; and second, turning points and transformation in the form of insights, behaviours, roles and agency. Responding to critical writing on resilience theory, we argue that providing situated accounts of adversity from the perspectives of young Indigenous people prioritises their subjective understandings and challenges normative definitions of resilience.

“…Because all three partners were involved in each stage of our project, we were able to integrate scientific rigor with what has been called community wisdom. The importance of leveraging community wisdom in research has been emphasized in reference to CBPR among PIs in Hawaii (Nacapoy et al, 2008), CPBR on HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia, and HIV/STI CBPR among indigenous peoples of Canada and New Zealand (Mooney-Somers & Maher, 2009). This is consistent with the CBPR principles of building on the unique strengths and resources of each partner, and mutual co-learning (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2003; Israel et al, 1998).…”

A Community-Based Participatory Research Study of HIV and HPV Vulnerabilities and Prevention in Two Pacific Islander Communities: Ethical Challenges and Solutions

We describe ethical issues that emerged during a one-year CBPR study of HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV) vulnerabilities and prevention in two Pacific Islander (PI) communities, and the collaborative solutions to these challenges reached by academic and community partners. In our project case study analysis, we found that ethical tensions were linked mainly to issues of mutual trust and credibility in PI communities; cultural taboos associated with the nexus of religiosity and traditional PI culture; fears of privacy breaches in small, interconnected PI communities; and competing priorities of scientific rigor versus direct community services. Mutual capacity building and linking CBPR practice to PI social protocols are required for effective solutions and progress toward social justice outcomes.
