My current research is in health related behavior change (prevention) with Pacific Northwest Indian People, e.g. youth suicide, pain, depression, cancer. As an Indian graduate faculty member I am committed to developing culturally appropriate instruments, examining the cultural appropriateness of research methods such as focus groups, and exploring the appropriateness and fit of theories and strategies used in mainstream populations for Indian communities.
My educational preparation is in change theory; I work at both the individual and structural/policy level to address change. My research is both quantitative and qualitative and I am committed to involvement of the community in research and practice. Much of my qualitative work is devoted to the development of theoretical models that may be more appropriate for Indian populations. I maintain and supervise field sites for both undergraduate and graduate students in rural Indian tribal communities.
