Developing the Tribal Resource Guide and the Poverty and Culture Training: The We RISE (Raising Income, Supporting
Abstract:
The We RISE Study aimed to support young American Indian mothers on a tribal reservation by addressing social determinants of health at an individual and community-wide level. To address community-based barriers, the study developed the Tribal Resource Guide, a comprehensive list of available resources that was created through partnerships with community programs and staff. In addition to the guide, the study also developed the Poverty and Culture Training in order to train program staff at numerous community programs to better understand and serve lower socioeconomic and/or Native clients. The two projects facilitated collaboration between community programs and provided tools for programs to address barriers and ultimately better serve their target audience. Despite challenges, the transdisciplinary approach used with the local community maximized potential for success. This process and model could be duplicated in communities with similar demographics, resources, and barriers.
