Native American Elders And Chronic Conditions
This annotated bibliography includes five relevant articles to describe how CBPR is used with Native Elders suffering from chronic disease. These articles were chosen due to being recently published (within the past 10 years) and their relevance to the topic at hand. Each article provides insight in how chronic disease affects Native Elders, as well as how interventions, which are rooted in the community can change the course of the disease process. All articles, have addressed, in some form or another, the fact that researchers must respect the community they are engaged in, and acknowledge the historical trauma, broken treatise, and current social conditions that Native Elder current face. In spite of this, hope rings through these articles as the authors provide implications for future research to address how researchers can use CBPR to empower Native communities and build community capacity.
