Through funding from the Ganna Research Network, five members (with ancestry to I-Taukei and/or Girmit groups) have been appointed as the ‘Fiji Heart Study - Community Advisory Group’. This group have committed to providing cultural oversight to ensure the study integrates the core values unique to Peoples of Fiji in the study design and develops culturally appropriate and sensitive content for engaging with participants in Aotearoa. This group will meet at least 4 times a year, for the duration of the study and is available for pastoral support for participants and their whanau throughout the study also.
