Documenting Tribal health priorities is needed to inform research agendas, policy efforts, advocacy, and funding. However, published literature rarely documents the methods used to develop surveys in Indigenous communities. This methods paper includes two objectives: (1) increase knowledge and understanding about the importance of community involvement in public health activities; and (2) provide an example of how the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council Epidemiology Center (RMTEC) worked with one Tribal community to develop a health priorities survey. This paper describes how the RMTEC worked with a Tribal community and Tribal College students to develop, pilot, and revise a health priorities survey. Recommendations focus on the need for more culturally-responsive survey methods, the importance of building Tribal capacity for health research, and the value of piloting surveys in communities prior to implementation.

The COVID-19 experience has also prompted investors in pharmaceutical companies to re-examine the impact of environment and ethics on business development. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies need to focus on their performance, especially on the shift from a single financial performance to an integrated performance.
