  • The social construction of violence among Northern Plains tribal members with antisocial personality disorder and alcohol use disorder

    Open AccessLori L Jervis, Paul Spicer et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2014Referências: 42

    Whereas recent reports from national studies have presented extremely high rates for many personality disorders in American Indian communities, persistent concerns about the meaning of these symptoms have left many troubled by these reports. American Indians as a group are known to suffer disproportionately from a number of violent experiences, but the dynamics of this violence have received little attention. This paper examines perspectives on v…

    Douglas K Novins, Misty L Boyd et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2012

    High rates of substance use and related problems have been long recognized as critical health issues for Native American adolescents.

  • Birth outcomes in Colorado's undocumented immigrant population

    Open AccessMary M Reed, John M Westfall et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2005

    Undocumented women have lower rates of preterm delivery and low birth weight infants, but higher rates of pregnancy related risk factors. Higher prevalence of some risk factors which are amenable to medical intervention reveals the need for improved prenatal care in this group

  • Stress, trauma, and risky sexual behaviour among American Indians in young adulthood

    Carol E Kaufman, Janette Beals et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2004

    This paper examines the relationship of risky sexual behaviour to stress and trauma-often the mediators of the content and structure of everyday life-among young American Indians. School, work, social life, and home life bring about demands and stresses for youth; choices young people make may depend on the quantity and content of those demands. Traumatic events or highly distressing situations may shatter fragile (or even resilient) systems of e…
