Community-based participatory research (CBPR) offers a model to engage these communities in pharmacogenetics.
Objectives: An academic-community partnership between the University of Montana (UM) and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) was established to engage the community as partners and advisors in pharmacogenetic research.
