摘要

Purpose

In Oregon, the incidence of Pancreatic Cancer is 2-times higher among American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities than among the rest of the population nationwide. We wanted to know if we could adapt the Research in Oregon Communities’ Review System (ROCRS) to investigate this disparity while upholding tribal sovereignty.

Methods

We partnered with The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs with the goal of adapting the ROCR System to address the pancreatic cancer disparity with a culturally responsive approach. One-on-one interviews with community members were conducted at the annual Pi-Ume-Sha Health Fair in 2023. Cancer-related data were requested from the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board. Barriers to healthcare access were identified and categorized using PESTLE analysis. A Tribal liaison combined this analysis with cancer-related data to create a cultural landscape. This was done in accordance with ROCRS.

Results

This culturally responsive approach fosters trust and engagement in pancreatic cancer research and creates actionable insights for researchers while maintaining tribal sovereignty.

Conclusion

The success of this model demonstrates the potential of tribally tailored research systems to improve participation and long-term collaborations with this underrepresented population.
