Language Is Medicine
This pilot study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the +Language is Medicine (+LiM) caregiver-implemented language intervention, a culturally grounded, caregiver-coaching early language intervention for Diné (Navajo) toddlers with developmental delay. The program integrates evidence-based language facilitation strategies, Enhanced Milieu Teaching and Hanen’s “It Takes Two to Talk,” within a precision home v…
Move to Improve
BACKGROUND: Physical activity can support physical and mental health among children living with chronic health conditions; however, programmes must be tailored to their specific needs to support participation. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to co-design the protocol for Move to Improve, a hospital-based clinical service at Perth Children's Hospital to support physical activity participation among children with chronic health conditions. METHODS: Fou…
Testing the effectiveness of Family Spirit Strengths (FSS) – a culturally informed intervention designed to prevent mental health and substance misuse for indigenous families through home visiting
Families represent the foundation of health for many Indigenous communities. Yet, Indigenous women, particularly women of the age who are starting families, face profound challenges related to mental health and substance use. These challenges are rooted in historical trauma, ongoing discrimination, systemic racism, and chronic underfunding of mental health and substance use services, and result in significant gaps in access to care. Family-based …
Using a Critical Community-Engaged Realist Review to Inform Decisions During a Crisis
Co‐creating a conceptual model of Indigenous relational wellbeing in early childhood
The purpose of this article is to share our story of conceptualizing Indigenous early relational wellbeing (ERW), specifically reflecting American Indian and Alaska Native worldviews. Our approach is grounded in Indigenous methodologies and guided by a Community of Learning comprised of Indigenous and allied Tribal early childhood community partners, researchers, practitioners, and federal funders. We describe the steps we took to conceptualize c…
Music Teachers Leaving the Field During the Covid-19 Era
In this interpretive inquiry, we investigated the experiences of four former music educators who elected to leave the profession during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the study was to determine the ways in which pandemic-related factors did or did not influence participants’ decision to leave the profession. Data were collected through two semistructured interviews with each participant as well as one focus group interview. Findings sugges…
Development of a culturally enhanced caregiver-facilitated language nutrition intervention “+Language is Medicine” to address developmental delay in Diné (Navajo) toddlers
Introduction: Developmental Delay (DD) is highly common in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN; Indigenous) toddlers and leads to high numbers of AI/AN children who eventually need special education services. AI/AN children are 2.89 times more likely to receive special education compared to other children in the U.S., yet developmental disorders are more frequently under diagnosed and untreated in AI/AN infants and toddlers. DD, which can be…
Respecting diverse journeys on many roads
Translation challenges persist among early childhood evidence-based home visiting programs. There is a need for a significant shift in the field to overcome the constraints of standardized home visiting interventions. A precision framework has been identified as a method to understand what is needed to address the unique needs of families. We argue that Indigenous experiences implementing home visiting programs overlap with precision home visitin…
Home visitor perspectives on implementing a precision approach to home visiting in communities serving Native American families
Family Spirit (FS) is a federally endorsed evidence‐based home visiting programs serving as a key prevention strategy for expectant families and families with young children. Like other home‐visiting programs, it shares client challenges in retention and engagement during implementation. We assessed (1) the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a precision approach to FS; and (2) differences in approaches to FS delivery. Home visitors, se…
