Considerations in Research With American Indian and Alaska Native Communities Using Community-Engaged Research: Policy Statement

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) children and adolescents are disproportionately affected by health inequities leading to chronic diseases beginning in childhood. Research with AIAN populations is needed to improve health outcomes of AIAN children and adolescents. This policy statement highlights the unique cultural and regulatory considerations of research with AIAN populations and tribal nations. Community-based participatory research is explored as an avenue to engage in research with AIAN communities. Recommendations for clinicians and researchers are provided to increase cultural humility and promote collaborative partnerships for research.
