Examining the Impact of First Nations Status on the Relationship Between Diabetes and Cancer
Purpose: This population-based study examined the relationship between diabetes and cancer and determined if this relationship was influenced by First Nations (FN) status. Methods: In a matched case–cohort study, individuals 30–74 years of age diagnosed with diabetes during 1984–2008 in the province of Manitoba, Canada, with no cancer diagnosis before their diabetes diagnosis were matched to one diabetes-free control by age, sex, FN status, and r…
Conceptualizations of help-seeking for mental health concerns in First Nations communities in Canada
This qualitative study explored the fit between on-reserve First Nations community members' conceptualizations of help-seeking for mental health concerns and the Andersen Behavioral Model of Health Services Use. Youth, adults and elders (N = 115) living and or working in eight distinct First Nations communities within a tribal council area in Canada participated in focus groups or individual interviews that were transcribed, coded and then analyz…
Tuberculosis among northern Manitoba First Nations, 2008–2012
Un nouvel enjeu de santé publique au Canada
Chaque année, dans le monde, entre 48 et 50 millions de personnes se retrouvent endeuillées à la suite d’un suicide. Au Canada seulement, ce sont 4 000 individus qui se suicident chaque année, laissant derrière eux un grand nombre de personnes qui doivent faire face au caractère traumatisant et complexe du suicide. Dans un contexte qui avait déjà vu la tentative de suicide être décriminalisée en 1972, la présente étude se penche sur ce qui appara…

Moving beyond the historical quagmire of measuring infant mortality for the First Nations population in Canada
Infant mortality is a metric influenced by societal, political and medical advances. The way vital events are collected and reported are not always uniform. A lack of uniformity has disadvantaged some groups in society. In Canada, a multi-jurisdictional vital statistics system has truncated our ability to produce infant mortality rates for the Indigenous population. To understand how this evolved, this paper outlines the history of infant mortali…
A comparison of the prevalence and risk factors of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in two American Indian population samples and in a general population sample
The current study aimed to examine whether the prevalence and risk factors for suicidal ideation and attempts differ when comparing two American Indian reservation samples to the U.S. general population. Data were from the baseline nationally representative National Comorbidity Survey ( N = 5,877) and the representative American Indian Service Utilization, Psychiatric Epidemiology, Risk and Protective Factors Project (AI-SUPERPFP; N = 3,084). Fac…
When the Data Does Not Match the Story
First Nations women have historically used cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) screening services less than non-First Nations women, and have correspondingly higher rates of cervical cancer compared to non-Aboriginal women. It has been suggested that trauma/mental health histories and addiction behaviours may present barriers and result in less use of Pap screening. This study examined the potential influence of trauma/mental health histories and addicti…
Correlates of Suicidality
Objectives. We examined individual, friend or family, and community or tribe correlates of suicidality in a representative on-reserve sample of First Nations adolescents. Methods. Data came from the 2002–2003 Manitoba First Nations Regional Longitudinal Health Survey of Youth. Interviews were conducted with adolescents aged 12 to 17 years (n = 1125) from 23 First Nations communities in Manitoba. We used bivariate logistic regression analyses to e…

Trauma and suicide behaviour histories among a Canadian indigenous population
Validation of a Culturally Appropriate Social Capital Framework to Explore Health Conditions in Canadian First Nations Communities
An earlier study of our research group formulated a conceptual framework of social capital for First Nation communities and developed a culturally appropriate instrument for its measurement. We tested this instrument further with the Manitoba (Canada) First Nations Regional Health Survey, 2003. Using data from this survey, we investigated the bonding dimension of the social capital conceptual framework, with a total sample of 2,765 First Nations …
