Abstract
Diabetes affects American Indian people at higher rates than the general US population; within this community gender disparities overwhelmingly affect men's health. Using Community-based participatory research (CBPR) and talking circles we asked AI male participants to share their perspectives about which culturally inclusive features of the program serve to best engage them and contribute to improved health (e.g., purposefully integrating sacred cultural and spiritual activities, reclaiming roles as strong and valued family men, and giving support appear to facilitate behavior change and health/disease management). Future directions and implications for partnership with AI communities are offered.
