Indigenous Health Needs

This study aims to understand the needs of pediatric patients and families receiving care at CHOP and broadly Pennsylvania. We will determine the needs and barriers of American Indian / Alaska Native (AI/AN) pediatric patients by facilitating semi-structured interviews with parents and/or guardians of children and adolescents who self-identify as AI/AN. We aim to also understand the importance of cultural safe care in pediatric healthcare for AI/AN patients in the form of patient-provider communication. We will facilitate semi-structured interviews with CHOP primary care providers who have worked or are currently working with patients who self-identify as AI/AN. We aim to enroll 10 CHOP primary care providers and 10 parents or guardians of self-identifying AI/AN pediatric patients. The data collected will inform future research questions and address areas of improvement for trainee-provider cultural safety education.
