Knowledge translation approaches and practices in Indigenous health research

Description

Knowledge translation (KT) efforts are essential to making research processes and findings useful and valuable. Much Indigenous health research and KT continues to be taught, developed, designed, regulated, and conducted in ways that do not prioritize local Indigenous Peoples’ ways of sharing knowledges. In this presentation, we will share key findings and recommendations from a systematic review on Indigenous health research KT globally; highlight what KT has to offer Indigenous communities, sharing examples of KT done well; and propose future directions for advancing KT in Indigenous health research. The presenters assert that KT is inherent to Indigenous health research that is authentically by, for, and with Indigenous Peoples.

Learning objectives

• Understand what knowledge translation (KT) is and why it is important, in the context of Indigenous health research.
• Learn about common challenges and barriers to effective KT as well as ways KT has worked well and benefitted Indigenous Peoples.
• Consider ideas and ways to better advance, facilitate, and support KT in Indigenous health research contexts.
