Title: Community-Partnered Research Strategies and Findings from a Community Partnership to Understand Cardiometabolic Health in the American Indian Blackfeet Community
Date/Time: October 20th, 2025, 12:00pm - 1:00pm EST
Description: Every day scholars within the SBSM community discover important biopsychosocial knowledge with implications for communities and the public in general. The impactful scholarship of our speakers, Drs. Neha John-Henderson and Annie Ginty, and their community partner and collaborator Betty Henderson-Matthews, is a clear example of how engaging communities as equal partners in our research is one way to enhance and ensure the public health impact of our work. Using their NIH/NHLBI/NIMHD-funded work with the American Indian Blackfeet community in Montana as an example, Drs. John-Henderson and Ginty will share insights into how we can incorporate community-based participatory research (CBPR) into the biopsychosocial research that we do as well discuss strategies for combating challenges. With their community partners, Drs. John-Henderson and Ginty examine social connectedness and trauma exposures and implications for cardiometabolic and mental health for members of the Blackfeet community. They will share some results of this work with us as well. There will be time for questions about CBPR and direct engagement with the speakers at the end.
