“…This is an area where potential barriers to screening could be identified and interventions developed to enhance screening participation. Traditionality Similar to previously reported research (Buehler, 1992;Canales, 2004b;Coe et al, 2004;Moran et al, 1999;Solomon & Gottlieb, 1999;Strickland et al, 1996), there was a range of traditionality among the sample of AI women in the study, from a small group identifying themselves as most traditional (16%; n = 17/109), to slightly less than a third identifying as moderately traditional (28%; 31/109), with slightly more than half (56%; 61/109) describing themselves as similar to non-Indians in most ways. This range persisted when responses to traditionality items were analyzed together and in distinct groupings.…”

The study purpose was to examine the relationship between cancer screening and traditionality, using a culturally specific survey instrument. American Indian (AI) women were randomly selected from the Vermont Breast Cancer Surveillance System (VBCSS), a statewide mammography database. The 13 items that assessed traditionality examined identity, cultural beliefs, customs, and health practices. The sample of 115 was predominately married, educated, middle class, insured, and rural. Significant associations were found between traditionality and past mammography and clinical breast examination (CBE) behavior, as well as future mammography intention. Results suggest that traditionality scales can be useful for identifying differences in screening behavior, with further testing of traditionality items with other AI women recommended. International implications of the study findings are also addressed.

“…In addition, to be effective, they must be willing to learn about the culture in which they practice. Nurses may begin this process by asking women about their culture, including which tribe they are from before and during the provision of health services (Buehler, 1992). The Cree women in this study felt validated and appreciated when the care providers took time to explain what was about to happen during a Pap smear.…”

“…These large family units, called clans, exert powerful influences on family relationships and functioning (Buehler, 1992;Seideman et al, 1996). AI communities are extended clan systems and family members are related by blood, marriage, or adoption (Red Horse, 1997).…”

This article describes the collective experience of a multidisciplinary network of researchers, practitioners, and program evaluators who support appropriate research and evaluation methods in working with Native peoples. Our experience underlines the critical importance of culture in understanding and conducting research with the diverse populations of American Indians and Alaska Natives, and documents the need for community-based, collaborative, participatory action research. We discuss the major findings of the first American Indian Research and Program Evaluation Methodology national symposium, and articulate a set of 20 guiding principles for conducting research and program evaluation.Keywords: American Indians and Alaska Natives, Community-based Participatory Research, Participatory Action Research, CultureThis article presents a call for systematic change in how research and program evaluation are conducted in Indian Country. 3 The authors do not intend to offer innovative research and evaluation methods; rather, we draw upon our collective experience, much of it based on working with individuals who have chronic illnesses and disabilities, to offer consolidated documentation for requiring that research and program evaluation in Indian Country be participatory. Further, we offer 20 guiding American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research Copyright: Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health Colorado School of Public Health/University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (www.ucdenver.edu/caianh) 2 VOLUME 12, NUMBER 1 principles, derived through the First Symposium of the Work Group on American Indian Research and Program Evaluation Methodology (AIRPEM), that we believe are basic to culturally respectful research and program evaluation. While the purposes of research and program evaluation activities often differ, the methods employed may be quite similar; for this reason, reference to research throughout this article can generally be assumed to apply to program evaluation as well.The special circumstances of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) affect research, program evaluation, and service delivery in Indian Country. In this regard, two fundamental considerations merit particular mention: tribal sovereignty and diversity. Tribal sovereignty means that AI/AN communities are sovereign political entities, each with its own form of governance, culture, and history. Second, AI/ANs are often mistakenly viewed as a single ethnic minority population (also referred to as the homogeneity assumption). In fact, over 560 Native nations and tribal entities exist in this country, constituting distinct cultural as well as political groups. In Alaska, for instance, there are at least four different cultural groups often referred to as Alaska Natives: Eskimos, Ale...
