Abstract Objective: In 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded 50 communities, including three tribal awardees, to implement environmental approaches to address obesity and smoking through the Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative. The tribes were among the selected awardees offered training support for analyzing, writing, and publishing their findings. This article describes the process of translating the workshops, guided by a participatory framework, for implementation with the tribes. Methods: Nine participants from three tribes attended the workshops in Decatur, Georgia, in August and October of 2012: 1) a one-day pre-conference workshop focused on integrating both Indigenous and academic evaluation methods; 2) a 4. day data analysis workshop; and 3) a 5. day scientific writing workshop. Participants were provided with technical assistance following the workshops. Results: Participants viewed the workshops positively and have continued to develop their manuscripts. To date one tribal awardee has submitted their manuscript for publication. Conclusion: The participatory manuscript development process described here is the first of its kind outlining a pathway for tribal community health practitioners to translate and publish their work. Further development of this process could increase the number of community-developed manuscripts, thereby advancing the field of translational intervention science and leading to improved health equity. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Summary:



The implementation of a participatory manuscript development process with Native American tribal awardees as part of the CDC Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative: Challenges and opportunities. The Indigenous evaluation model which explores how values shared by many Native communities might inu- ence an evaluation approach guided the workshop. The tribal awardees had their own workroom and the Native faculty mem- ber provided technical assistance almost exclusively for tribal awardees for the duration of the workshops while other faculty members rotated between all of the awardees. Thus the Indigenous pre-conference was less important for identifying Indigenous evaluation methods than it was for cultivating cultural humility among both Native partici- pants and the non-Native workshop faculty and staff in efforts to nd common ground between the implementation evidence base and the academic evidence base and build trust. Several lessons were identied from the development of these workshops.
