Co‐Designing a Peer Navigator Role to Improve Equity in Healthcare Access for Pacific Islander, Māori and Arabic Communities in Australia
Four of the authors were employed as bicultural peer health navigators (BPHNs) who engaged their communities to organise and conduct these workshops in their preferred language. This approach enabled an inclusive environment for the participants to share their thoughts and experiences. The proposed roles for a BPHN were generated from the workshop discussions. The BPHNs conducted the semi-structured verification interviews with the workshop participants. The thematic analysis was conducted by two of the BPHNs, with one being the primary author.
