Abstract

Global health projects—a source of inspiration and collaboration for applied human biology—benefit scholars, governments, NGOs, and aid organizations. While such research is intended to improve population health, direct benefits to individuals and communities are often excluded from published works and/or not considered in study designs and framing. This exclusion is increasingly recognized as a colonial legacy that hinders global health equity, particularly for Indigenous and other marginalized populations. Collaboration and community engagement are avenues for addressing these injustices, but they require planning, intention, and resources. Drawing on our collective experience and ongoing dialogues about community engagement in human biology, we propose six recommendations to increase equity in global health research. These include: (1) Incorporating trusted local specialists and stakeholders at all project levels; (2) disseminating health information to participants in strengths-based and culturally meaningful ways and contributing to solutions wherever possible; (3) investing in local healthcare, research, and infrastructure; (4) making study results/data available to stakeholders; (5) working within data frameworks that respect community sovereignty; and, (6) applying culturally informed bioethics frameworks. Our discussion highlights persistent needs to address community rights and benefits and to dismantle colonial legacies within global health and human biology while recognizing structural barriers to implementing these needed changes, particularly within the context of global health projects wherein human biologists are not the main power brokers or resource holders. When interfacing with global health, human biologists must continue to pursue health equity and decolonization through implementing critical, culturally informed bioethics frameworks centering community engagement.

生物伦理建议,以增加文化知情的全球健康调查研究:以社区参与为中心的框架
全球健康项目是应用人类生物学的灵感和合作之源,使学者、政府、非政府组织和援助组织受益。虽然这类研究的目的是改善人口健康,但对个人和社区的直接益处往往被排除在已发表的作品之外,而且(或)在研究设计和框架中没有考虑到。人们日益认识到,这种排斥是阻碍全球卫生公平的殖民遗留问题,对土著和其他边缘化人口来说尤其如此。协作和社区参与是解决这些不公正现象的途径,但它们需要规划、意图和资源。根据我们的集体经验和正在进行的关于社区参与人类生物学的对话,我们提出六项建议,以增加全球卫生研究的公平性。这些措施包括:(1)在所有项目层面纳入值得信赖的当地专家和利益相关者;(2)以基于优势和具有文化意义的方式向参与者传播健康信息,并尽可能为解决方案作出贡献;(3)投资于当地的医疗、研究和基础设施;(4)向利益相关者提供研究结果/数据;(5)在尊重社区主权的数据框架内开展工作;(6)应用文化知情的生物伦理学框架。我们的讨论强调了在全球卫生和人类生物学范围内解决社区权利和福利问题以及消除殖民遗留问题的持续需要,同时认识到实施这些必要变革的结构性障碍,特别是在人类生物学家不是主要权力经纪人或资源所有者的全球卫生项目背景下。在与全球卫生相结合时,人类生物学家必须继续通过实施以社区参与为中心的关键的、了解文化的生物伦理框架来追求卫生公平和非殖民化。

期刊介绍: The American Journal of Human Biology is the Official Journal of the Human Biology Association. The American Journal of Human Biology is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed, internationally circulated journal that publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles and timely reviews, and brief communications in the interdisciplinary field of human biology. As the official journal of the Human Biology Association, the Journal also publishes abstracts of research presented at its annual scientific meeting and book reviews relevant to the field. The Journal seeks scholarly manuscripts that address all aspects of human biology, health, and disease, particularly those that stress comparative, developmental, ecological, or evolutionary perspectives. The transdisciplinary areas covered in the Journal include, but are not limited to, epidemiology, genetic variation, population biology and demography, physiology, anatomy, nutrition, growth and aging, physical performance, physical activity and fitness, ecology, and evolution, along with their interactions. The Journal publishes basic, applied, and methodologically oriented research from all areas, including measurement, analytical techniques and strategies, and computer applications in human biology. Like many other biologically oriented disciplines, the field of human biology has undergone considerable growth and diversification in recent years, and the expansion of the aims and scope of the Journal is a reflection of this growth and membership diversification. The Journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscripts of unusual interest.
