Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Diverse Health-related Outcomes among American Indian and Alaska Native Peoples during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Creating zines about Alzheimer's disease and related dementias for American Indian and Alaska Native youth caregivers
In many American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities, family members care for elders with memory issues. AIAN youth are a unique and important caregiving group who may lack basic caregiving skills, as well as developmentally and culturally appropriate support and resources. Grounded in community-based participatory research (CBPR), AIAN youth (n = 8) participated in talking circles to discuss their experiences caring for someone who has m…
Rural Native Veterans’ Perceptions of Care in the Context of Navigator Program Development
Associations of Social Engagement and Perceived Interpersonal Connectedness With Cognitive, Mental, and Physical Health in American Indian and Alaska Native Adults
ObjectivesWe examined associations of social engagement and interpersonal connectedness with cognitive function, distress, and mental and physical health in middle-aged and older American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults.MethodsData from 552 AI/ANs aged 55+ in the Rocky Mountain region (2019-2023). Social engagement and interpersonal connectedness were assessed using validated scales. Outcomes included cognitive impairment (adapted AD8), d…
Addressing the knowledge and recruitment gap in Alzheimer's disease and precision medicine research among Native people
This study will inform future recruitment efforts for ADRD-focused clinical trials. Enrollment of AI/AN participants in an Alzheimer's Disease-Precision Medicine (AD-PM) Registry will provide opportunity for future research on this topic in partnership with this population
Making a Community Health Needs Assessment Participatory
Community health needs assessments (CHNAs) often lack sufficient community member participation. This lack of participation contributes to a continuation of unmet needs and systematic inequities. Southcentral Foundation (SCF) is an Alaska Native-owned, nonprofit healthcare organization serving 70,000 Alaska Native and American Indian (AN/AI) people living in and around Anchorage and 55 rural villages. Results of a 1993 CHNA shaped the organizatio…
Relationships Among Covid-19 Contraction, Job Loss, and Food Insecurity in American Indian and Alaska Native Peoples
Tribal Perspectives on Patient Navigation for Rural Native Veterans Using Veteran Health Administration Services
The Relationship between All-Cause Dementia and Acute Diabetes Complications among American Indian and Alaska Native Peoples
AI/AN diabetes patients with dementia suffered from considerably higher rates of acute diabetes complications than their counterparts without dementia. The clinical management of patients with comorbid diabetes and dementia is particularly challenging and may require individualized treatment approaches
Potential Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Air Pollution on Dementia
(1) Background: American Indians are disproportionately affected by air pollution, an important risk factor for dementia. However, few studies have investigated the effects of air pollution on the risk of dementia among American Indians. (2) Methods: This retrospective cohort study included a total of 26,871 American Indians who were 55+ years old in 2007, with an average follow-up of 3.67 years. County-level average air pollution data were downl…
Supporting Holistic Health and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Risk Reduction Among Young Native Females Prior to Pregnancy
AI/AN communities are disproportionately impacted by food insecurity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Decreasing the risk of GDM can interrupt the intergenerational cycle of diabetes in AI/AN families, and can decrease diabetes-related health disparities. The goal of this study was to explore ways of supporting holistic health and reducing the risk of GDM among young American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) females prior to pregnancy. Se…
Food insecurity in urban American Indian and Alaska Native populations during the Covid-19 pandemic
High rates of food insecurity among American Indian and Alaska Native communities likely increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite the high prevalence of food insecurity, community-led efforts to reduce COVID-19 infection and increase vaccination uptake across Indian Health Service and Tribal healthcare facilities may have mitigated the negative impacts of the pandemic for families experiencing food insecurity. These successful app…
An Ancillary Effect of Patient Navigation Following Detox
Patient navigation (PN) is increasingly used to help people overcome barriers to accessing health care. In a recent trial, PN was added to motivational interviewing (MI) to help patients discharged from detoxification (detox) transition to follow-up care. The goal was to test whether PN in addition to MI increased transition rates and reduced subsequent readmissions into detox compared with MI alone. Results demonstrated little evidence of a trea…
Racial and Ethnic Equity in Care for Hypertension and Diabetes in an Urban Indian Health Organization
Associations Between Rurality, pre-pregnancy Health Status, and Macrosomia in American Indian/Alaska Native Populations
Social determinants of obesity in American Indian and Alaska Native peoples aged ≥ 50 years
Objective: American Indian and Alaska Native peoples (AI/AN) have a disproportionately high rate of obesity, but little is known about the social determinants of obesity among older AI/AN. Thus, our study assessed social determinants of obesity in AI/AN aged ≥ 50 years. Design: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using multivariate generalised linear mixed models to identify social determinants associated with the risk of being classified as …
Diabetes Prevention and Care Capacity at Urban Indian Health Organizations
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people suffer a disproportionate burden of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Urban Indian Health Organizations (UIHOs) are an important source of diabetes services for urban AI/AN people. Two evidence-based interventions—diabetes prevention (DP) and healthy heart (HH)–have been implemented and evaluated primarily in rural, reservation settings. This work examines the capacity, challenges and strengths …
Bringing Light to the Darkness
The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sweeping across our country has reawakened the fear, pain, stigma, and loss of past outbreaks of infectious diseases among American Indians and Alaska Natives. Attention to the pandemic has emphasized the challenges it poses for Native peoples: their vulnerability, the heartbreaking battle to constrain contagion, the lack of resources to care for those afflicted by the virus, …
Diabetes and health-related quality of life among American Indians
Perceived Discrimination, Retention, and Diabetes Risk Among American Indians and Alaska Natives in a Diabetes Lifestyle Intervention
Objectives: To examine the association of perceived discrimination with participant retention and diabetes risk among American Indians and Alaska Natives. Methods: Data were drawn from the Special Diabetes Program for Indians-Diabetes Prevention Demonstration Project ( N = 2553). Results: Perceived discrimination was significantly and negatively associated with short-term and long-term retention and diabetes risk without adjusting. After controll…
Associations of Binge Drinking With Vascular Brain Injury and Atrophy in Older American Indians
Objectives: American Indians (AIs) generally consume less alcohol than the US general population; however, the prevalence of alcohol use disorder is higher. This is the first large cohort study to examine binge drinking as a risk factor for vascular brain injury (VBI). Methods: We used linear and Poisson regression to examine the association of self-reported binge drinking with VBI, measured via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in 817 older AIs …
The Association of Cultural Participation and Social Engagement With Self-Reported Diagnosis of Memory Problems Among American Indian and Alaska Native Elders
Objective: This study examines the association of cultural participation and social engagement with self-reported diagnosis of memory problems among older American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 14,827 AI/ANs using data from the 2014-2017 cycle of the Identifying Our Needs: A Survey of Elders (ION). Logistic regression was used to examine the association of cultural participation and social en…
Aging and Health of American Indians and Alaska Natives
Objectives : To describe recent advances in our knowledge regarding the health and illness of older American Indians and Alaska Natives, and factors underlying why this special population lives 5.5 years less than the 78.5 years of U.S. all races. Methods : The articles in this supplemental issue, authored by participants in a National Institutes of Health-sponsored early research career development program, examine high priority health concerns …
Older and Wiser? Age Moderates the Association Between Discrimination and Depressive Symptoms in American Indians and Alaska Natives
Objectives: To examine age differences in the association between discrimination and depressive symptoms among urban American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). Methods: A sample of 303 urban AI/AN (18-78 years old) reported on lifetime and past-week experiences of racial discrimination and depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were regressed on racial discrimination, age, and their interaction, adjusting for demographic factors and other lif…
Social Epidemiology of Trauma Among 2 American Indian Reservation Populations
We examined the prevalence of trauma in 2 large American Indian communities in an attempt to describe demographic correlates and to compare findings with a representative sample of the US population.We determined differences in exposure to each of 16 types of trauma among 3084 tribal members aged 15 to 57 years through structured interviews. We compared prevalence rates of trauma, by gender, across the 2 tribes and with a sample of the US general…
Prestige and Culture
Examination of human prestige-striving in phylogenetic perspective suggests it to be essentially homologous with primate social dominance. In our own species, however, selection for "cultural capacity" has transformed striving for social dominance into striving to evaluate the self as being higher in rank than others or, in other words, into striving for self-esteem. We maintain self-esteem through symbolic means, usually referred to as seeking "…
Measuring Bicultural Ethnic Identity among American Indian Adolescents
Based on the premise that ethnic identity provides a fruitful approach to exploring issues related to ethnicity, an empirically based strategy was used to develop a measure of ethnic identity among American Indian adolescents. Because American Indians live in two worlds, a bicultural approach was drawn on to measure the degree that respondents identified with Indian culture and with the mainstream or White culture. An exploratory factor analysis …
Spirituality and attempted suicide among American Indians
Boredom, "Trouble," and the Realities of Postcolonial Reservation Life
Perhaps because of its reputation as an inconsequential emotion, the significance of boredom in human social life has often been minimized if not ignored. Boredom has been theoretically linked to modernity, affluence, and the growing problem of filling "leisure time. "It has also been attributed to the expansion of individualism with its heightened expectations of personal gratification. Whether a reaction to the sensation ofunderstimulation or "…
Access, Relevance, and Control in the Research Process
Most investigators are unprepared to address the demands of health research in AI communities. Community-based participatory research in this setting conflicts with investigators' desire for academic freedom and scientific independence. Successful collaboration promises to enhance research efficiencies and move findings more quickly to clinical practice
Historical Consciousness Among Two American Indian Tribes
American Indians have endured numerous significant historical events, including epidemics, warfare, genocide, relocation, and for many, confinement to reservations. These events often are thought to be the root cause of contemporary physical and mental health problems within this population. Yet despite the presumed force of history in shaping their contemporary lives, there has been surprisingly little empirical examination of the extent to whic…

Ethnic Minority Older Adults Participating in Clinical Research
The RCMAR centers are building trust with the communities they serve, resulting in the recruitment and retention of ethnic minority older adults in clinical research studies and health promotion projects. Implications are discussed for other researchers toward building trust with ethnic minority elders to increase their participation in research
Ethnographic Methods, Cultural Context, and Mental Illness
A self-perpetuating cycle of mutual noninteraction among anthropologists, program representatives, and scientific peer reviewers has led to the near absence of ethnography in the NIMH research portfolio. The ensuing inattention to the context and meaning of findings emanatingfrom work supported by this agency has had enormous, but seldom appreciated, consequences. This commentary illustrates lessons learned in the course of integrating ethnograph…

Rural and Urban American Indian and Alaska Native Veteran Health Disparities
Racial discrimination associated with higher diastolic blood pressure in a sample of A merican I ndian adults
The results of this analysis suggest that racial discrimination may contribute to higher diastolic blood pressure within Native communities. These findings highlight one pathway through which the social environment can shape patterns of biology and health in AI and other socially and politically marginalized groups
Characteristics Associated with Reservation Travel Among Urban Native American Outpatients
The objectives of this study were to ascertain the extent of, and health-related characteristics associated with, travel to reservations in a low-income, urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population. We surveyed more than 500 AI/AN adults at a primary care clinic. Measures included time spent visiting a reservation during the past year, and sociodemographic, cultural, and clinical characteristics. More than half (52%) of the patient…
Racial Disparities in Alcohol Use
American Indian alcohol use has received scrutiny in recent decades,1 but data derived from samples that permit direct comparisons to other US epidemiological studies have been less commonly reported.2–4 This brief places rates of the quantity and frequency of alcohol use in 2 tribally defined reservation samples in such a comparative epidemiological context
American Indian Psychiatric and Social Problems
Validation of the Brief Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire–Community Version in American Indians
This study provides strong evidence that the PEDQ-CVB behaves consistently for AIs and other underrepresented ethnic/racial groups. As such, the PEDQ-CVB allows for documentation of the experiences of different ethnic/racial groups and provides a means to test theoretical models of the antecedents and consequences of perceived discrimination within and across groups.

Religiosity and Spiritual Engagement in Two American Indian Populations
Social scientific investigation into the religiospiritual characteristics of American Indians rarely includes analysis of quantitative data. After reviewing information from ethnographic and autobiographical sources, we present analyses of data from a large, population-based sample of two tribes (n = 3,084). We examine salience of belief in three traditions: aboriginal, Christian, and Native American Church. We then investigate patterns in sociod…
Obesity and Overweight in American Indian and Alaska Native Children, 2006–2015
Objectives. To estimate obesity and overweight prevalence in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children across genders, ages, and geographic regions in the Indian Health Service active clinical population. Methods. We obtained data from the Indian Health Service National Data Warehouse. At least 184 000 AI/AN children aged 2 to 19 years had body mass index data for each year studied, 2006 to 2015. We calculated body mass index percentiles…
Reservation Lands as a Protective Social Factor
The unique physical, cultural, and ecological location of U.S. American Indian reservations simultaneously presents risks for mental health and offers sources of resilience to Native peoples. Using survey data from two American Indian tribes, we explore whether the length of one's life spent on a reservation is associated with lower odds of psychological distress. In both tribes, we find that individuals who live a vast majority of their lives on…
Case Management to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease Risk in American Indians and Alaska Natives With Diabetes
Objectives. We evaluated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) with diabetes in the Special Diabetes Program for Indians Healthy Heart (SDPI-HH) Demonstration Project. Methods. Multidisciplinary teams implemented an intensive case management intervention among 30 health care programs serving 138 tribes. The project recruited 3373 participants, with and without current CVD, between 2006 and 2009. We …
Personal Journeys, Professional Paths
Persistence in a research career can be readily understood within the trainee models that have emerged from undergraduate and graduate instruction. These models offer a common language for discussing training processes, serve as guides for assessing trainee needs, promise to render training programs that are more comprehensive and attentive than are current programs to the factors that contribute to academic and scientific persistence, and enable…
Relation Between the Level of American Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Education Program Services and Quality-of-Care Indicators
Objectives. We examined the relation between the level of diabetes education program services in the Indian Health Service (IHS) and indicators of the quality of diabetes care to determine if more-comprehensive diabetes services were associated with better quality of diabetes care. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, we used the IHS Integrated Diabetes Education Recognition Program to rank program services into 1 of 3 levels of comprehensiven…
Cognitive Impairment, Psychiatric Disorders, and Problematic Behaviors in a Tribal Nursing Home
Tribal NH residents were likely underdiagnosed for dementia and anxiety. Residual behavioral and psychiatric symptomatology suggest room for improvement in the NH's behavioral management regimen. Need for greater attention to conceptual, diagnostic, clinical, and documentation processes in the NH setting is noted
The Association of Cultural Participation and Social Engagement With Self-Reported Diagnosis of Memory Problems Among American Indian and Alaska Native Elders
Objective: This study examines the association of cultural participation and social engagement with self-reported diagnosis of memory problems among older American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs).

Special Section
No more than 60 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently hold doctoral degrees in the fields of anthropology, psychiatry, psychology, social work, and sociology. Only a few of these persons actually work in positions where they can directly impact American Indian and Alaska Native mental health programs. Moreover, lacking graduate level trained Indian professionals, many of these programs—as within the Indian Health Service, for example—have…
American Indian Psychiatric and Social Problems
The Psychiatric Effects of Massive Trauma on Cambodian Children
Oregon's Psychiatric Security Review Board
The insanity defense is a particularly controversial aspect of the interaction between law and mental health. During the past decade, many states have revised or abolished their insanity defenses. Oregon, however, chose in 1978 to retain its existing defense and create a new, unique system for the post-adjudication management of insanity acquittees. Oregon's legislature established the Psychiatric Security Review Board (PSRB), which is composed o…

Mental health and the academic performance of first nations and majority-culture children
Prior classroom achievement and verbal IQ are identified as predictors of school performance for both Native and non-Native youngsters. Children's assessments of their competence, which appear to be, in part, a product of interactions with teachers, were found to be independent predictors of classroom performance. Results suggest that verbal IQ and compromised self-assessments contribute to the difficulties many Native children experience in majo…
DSM-IV, Culture and Mood Disorders
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Edition IV (DSM-IV) represents a significant advance over past editions in terms of attention to the role of culture in the assessment process. A major share of this accomplishment is due to the work of the National Institute of Mental Health Group on Culture and Diagnosis which orchestrated a large body of knowledge and diverse array of scientists to argue for a more culturally informed approach. This paper…
The Place of Culture in DSM-IV
This paper critically reviews the process and outcome of an effort to enhance the cultural validity of DSM-IV and outlines recommendations to improve future diagnostic systems. An ordered presentation of the antecedents and the main phases of this developmental effort is followed by a content analysis of what was proposed and what was actually incorporated, and a conceptual analysis of underlying biases and their implications. The cultural effort…

Use of Traditional Health Practices Among Native Americans in a Primary Care Setting
BACKGROUND: This study was undertaken to ascertain the extent that traditional health practices are used by urban American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) primary care patients, to identify related patient characteristics, to determine associations with health status and functioning, and to describe attitudes about care received. METHODS: This study used a brief self-report survey of 869 adult AI/AN patients randomly sampled over a 14-month period f…
Adult Attachment as a Framework for Understanding Mental Health and American Indian Families
This article discusses three cases of American Indian families who presented for therapy at an urban mental health center. The framework of adult attachment is used to understand the cross-generational continuity of mental health concerns in these families, and American Indian families more generally, who present with mental health problems. The demographics of American Indian family life are presented, along with a background review of the adult…
