"If you show them respect, you're going to [get] respect back": a theory for engaging First Nations for knowledge translation within a national nutrition and health survey.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundKnowledge translation (KT) research aims to bridge the gap between research results and application which is vital to addressing health inequities. Despite the increasing emphasis on engaging Indigenous communities in research, there is limited research examining how to effectively engage communities to achieve Indigenous KT. The Food, Environment, Health, and Nutrition of First Nations Children and Youth (FEHNCY) is a nationally representative survey collaborating with First Nations' (FNs) communities across Canada to inform policies and programs. The FEHNCY Community Engagement and Mobilization (CEM) supports partnerships with participating FNs communities and the application of study findings into action. This formative research aimed to examine how, for whom, and in which circumstances community engagement approaches support KT within FNs communities.
methodsData were generated with one rural and one semi-urban community participating in the FEHNCY pilot from the Atlantic and Eastern regions of Canada, respectively. A total of 26 in-depth interviews were conducted, 1 modified Talking Circle with community partners and 2 focus group discussions with the FEHNCY team. We used a realist approach combining inductive and deductive coding stages to develop a middle-range theory examining the connections between community engagement and KT.
resultsOur findings highlight the contexts, interventions, mechanisms, and outcomes that create pathways to KT. The participants described the societal, study and community contexts that affected engagement processes. The essential community engagement strategies included supporting Indigenous leadership in the research, supporting community decision-making, promoting project visibility, applying youth-specific engagement strategies, and incorporating FNs knowledges. The participants also described that centering positive relationships between research and community partners and valuing FNs knowledge systems were essential mechanisms for supporting KT. Lastly, participants highlighted KT outcomes namely, community self-determination in research, improved research findings and application of results for FNs benefit.
conclusionThis research can inform the strategic use of community engagement in research for KT among FNs. This study is the first to generate a middle-range theory using primary data collection for supporting KT through community engagement approaches in Indigenous health research.
