Abstract:
There is a prevailing wisdom that in undertaking health research relevant to Pacific peoples, a Pacific or ethnic advisory group will make sensible and positive contributions. These contributions can includ enhancing workforce capabilities, providing cultural knowledge and technical expertise, and supplying access to a range of both professional networks and community linkages. However, there are a number o issues that challenge the practical implementation of this wisdom. The aim of this paper is to reflect on, and share practical insights and experiences on the process of operating a Pacific advisory group as part of a injury prevention research project conducted in Wellington, New Zealand. We share five insights, on the practicalities of involving a Pacific advisory group in a research project, with the intent of assisting others who are considering initiating, planning and conducting research with Pacific communities.
