| Popis: | Community-based decentralized decision-making is advocated increasingly by the national government of the United States and by international agencies such as the World Health Organization. The purpose of this approach is to empower local citizens to analyze their own needs and determine their own service priorities. Such an approach may be particularly important for indigenous people who frequently do not utilize fully human care services prescribed by professionals who often represent the dominant culture group. This article describes a series of qualitative and quantitative methods used to test a community based needs assessment model that is bias free and socio-culturally relevant for indigenous populations. It presents the results of the field tested model and offers implications for policy formation and the way needs assessments are conducted in general and with indigenous populations in particular. While a summary of the results is presented, it is the model that is reviewed primarily. |
