This study was a collaboration between Western public health researchers and Suriname indigenous communities.
The question asked was “how can Western researchers effectively engage traditional indigenous communities in Suriname, South America, in public health research”.
The approach used a combination of Participatory Action Research methods in which “Western” researchers became participating observers in an indigenous-led research initiative.
The Wayana communities of Puleowime (Apetina) and Kawemhakan (Anapayke) defined a single objective: determine for themselves whether they are at risk from exposure to mercury (Hg) contamination.
Community members collected hair samples for analysis.
Hair samples were analyzed using a portable Hg analyzer.
Individual, community and hazard quotient indices were used to quantify risk.
Results showed the Wayana were at a high lifetime risk of adverse effects from exposure to Hg.
This study showed that the community-led approach is an effective way Westerners can engage indigenous communities and address serious public health threats.
While factors that appealed to indigenous communities were identified, obstacles inherent to Western research methodology were also encountered.
