title: Insider-Outsider reflections from a Native Hawaiian researcher and the use of community-based participatory approaches.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  There is an increasing interest in conducting research within indigenous communities among indigenous and non-indigenous researchers alike. This paper offers the critical reflections of one Native Hawaiian researcher and the process of engaging in research as both an insider-outsider.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Community-based, participatory research (CBPR) offers one model for outsiders to work effectively with indigenous communities, but CBPR also offers valuable principles for insiders who desire to work with their own communities.
