Community-engaged dissemination and implementation of an evidence-based health promotion intervention for Native American families: “Delivery of Turtle Island Tales to promote family wellness” protocol
This study applies innovative CEDI science to the equitable implementation of Turtle Island Tales, one of the only family-centered, home-based, evidence-based obesity prevention intervention developed for and with Native American communities. Key innovations include a mailed intervention model and culturally specific strategies that honor local community assets to support the program's relevance, scalability, and long-term sustainability.
