The Unexpected Benefits of a Decolonized Knowledge Translation Initiative for Indigenous Mother Participants.

Western health research's approach to knowledge translation (KT) has been criticized by Indigenous scholars, leaders, and communities for its misalignment with Indigenous ways of knowing and relational approaches to sharing knowledge. Conversely, Indigenous KT is understood as 'sharing what we know about living a good life' (Kaplan-Myrth & Smylie, 2006). Whereas KT in Euro-Western science contexts focuses on closing the gap implying a separation of knowledge and action, knowledge in the Indigenous context is inherently practical and based on centuries old practices including oral traditions, experiential knowledge, and cross-cultural sharing.

Exploring the Lived Experience of Self-management Practices of Indigenous Men, Women and Two-spirited Individuals Living With Type 2 Diabetes in Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand: A Scoping Review.

Objectives: Indigenous men, women and two-spirted individuals have been significantly impacted by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. It is believed that T2DM in Indigenous peoples is a direct result of colonization and the introduction of changes to traditional Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and living. The broader question will guide the aim of this scoping review: What is currently known about the lived experience of self-managing diabetes in Indigenous men, women, and two-spirited individuals living with T2DM in Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand? Specific objectives of this scoping review include 1) exploring the lived experience of self-management practices of Indigenous men, women, and two-spirited individuals living with T2DM; and 2) describing how self-management experiences differ from physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual perspectives.

Mental health and well-being of unpaid caregivers: a cross-sectional survey protocol.

Introduction: Unpaid caregiving, care provided by family/friends, is a public health issue of increasing importance. COVID-19 worsened the mental health conditions of unpaid caregivers, increasing substance/drug use and early development of chronic disease. The impact of the intersections of race and ethnicity, sex, age and gender along with unpaid care work and caregivers' health and well-being is unknown.

Patient engagement partnerships in clinical trials (PEP-CT): protocol for the systematic development and testing of patient partner and investigator decision aids.

Introduction: Building capacity to improve sex/gender knowledge and strengthen patient engagement in clinical trials requires training and support. The overall goal of this 2-year project is to refine, translate and evaluate two web-based open-access patient and investigator decision aids aimed to improve patient engagement partnerships in clinical trials.

Methods And Analysis: Two decision aids were designed in Phase 1 of this programme of research and this protocol describes a subsequent sequential phased approach to refine/translate (Phase 2A) and conduct alpha/usability (Phase 2B) and beta/field (Phase 3) testing.
