Partnering by Invitation Only

Katie Cueva, ScD, MAT, MPH


When conducting research how do you build a healthy relationship with the community you are working with? Trust is a key component especially in marginalized communities that have a history of being harmed and mistreated. Katie Cueva shares that it’s integral for researchers to be invited into communities and ensure that their intentions are centered around the best interest of those who they serve. Listen as Katie shares about the historical context of racism and colonialism in Alaska and how that impacts healthcare delivery.
