Abstract

Objective

We aimed to evaluate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander involvement in research focusing on cancer experiences using an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander quality appraisal tool (the QAT).

Methods

We conducted a systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ experiences associated with cancer, recently published elsewhere. We then appraised articles for the inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led research, community consultation, and involvement.

Results

91 articles were appraised. A lack of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led research and consultation was reported in the majority of articles, only 10 (11%) demonstrated success across seven (50%) or more questions of the QAT.

Conclusions

This review underscores the need for anti-racist research and publication practices that actively engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and researchers. This approach is vital to enhance cancer outcomes within these communities.

Implications for public health

To advance and prioritise appropriate involvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in cancer research, the onus must be on ‘systems owners,’ including academic journals and institutions, to require and report genuine engagement as standard practice. Researchers will produce higher-calibre research with a strengths-based focus, advancing the cause of equitable research.

利用 CREATE 质量评估工具分析澳大利亚土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民参与和报告癌症研究的情况

目标我们旨在使用土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民质量评估工具（QAT）评估土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民参与癌症相关经验研究的情况。方法我们对最近在其他地方发表的有关土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民癌症相关经验的同行评审文献进行了系统性回顾。然后，我们对文章中是否包含土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民主导的研究、社区咨询和参与进行了评估。大多数文章都缺乏土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民主导的研究和咨询，只有 10 篇文章（11%）在 QAT 的七个（50%）或更多问题上取得了成功。为推动并优先考虑土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民适当参与癌症研究，包括学术期刊和机构在内的 "系统所有者 "必须承担责任，要求并报告真正的参与，并将其作为标准做法。研究人员将以优势为重点，开展更高质量的研究，推动公平研究事业的发展。

期刊介绍： The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health (ANZJPH) is concerned with public health issues. The research reported includes formal epidemiological inquiries into the correlates and causes of diseases and health-related behaviour, analyses of public policy affecting health and disease, and detailed studies of the cultures and social structures within which health and illness exist. The Journal is multidisciplinary and aims to publish methodologically sound research from any of the academic disciplines that constitute public health.
