Engaging indigenous partners in health service transformation: a framework for sustained engagement built on trust.

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
Health research and service delivery often fail to incorporate Indigenous worldviews and local community protocols, as well as historic experiences and knowledge of harmful research practices leaving Indigenous individuals wary of participating in research. Meaningfully engaging with Indigenous stakeholders (e.g., youth, family/carers, decision-makers, and service providers) in research partnerships offers a promising pathway toward better access and quality health care and improved mental health and wellness outcomes that better meet Indigenous youths' needs. This paper traces the development of a national research network, ACCESS Open Minds, a network of youth, family members/carers, clinicians, decision-makers and academics focused on transforming youth mental health services in Canada. The context for this network is one in which diverse Indigenous stakeholders have been engaged in health systems and service transformation against the historical and ongoing backdrop of colonialism. Within this paper, we will focus on the network's past and on-going activities for engaging Indigenous partners to provide a critical lens on the partnership development process. We will also underscore key activities/reflections central to the development of trust and ultimately, the sustained engagement of Indigenous youth and community partners within mental health service transformation. Both trust development and sustained engagement are integral to building momentum in developing, implementing and evaluating health systems and service transformation in collaboration with Indigenous youth and community partners. We propose a framework for engaging Indigenous community partners and youth within service transformation. Trust is highlighted as the context, mechanism, and outcome. We conclude with the need to build an evidence base of what works and - and what does not work - in achieving and sustaining trust within the process of engaging Indigenous partners in health system transformation.
