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…
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…
Associations Between Rurality, pre-pregnancy Health Status, and Macrosomia in American Indian/Alaska Native Populations
Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Devices
Objectives: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is an important component of blood pressure (BP) management. We assessed performance of two HBPM devices among Alaska Native and American Indian people (ANAIs). Methods: We measured BP using Omron BP786 arm cuff, Omron BP654 wrist cuff, and Baum aneroid sphygmomanometer in 100 ANAIs. Performance was assessed with intraclass correlation, paired t -tests, and calibration models. Results: Compared to…
Best Practices for Conducting Clinical Trials With Indigenous Children in the United States
We provide guidance for conducting clinical trials with Indigenous children in the United States. We drew on extant literature and our experience to describe 3 best practices for the ethical and effective conduct of clinical trials with Indigenous children. Case examples of pediatric research conducted with American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities are provided to illustrate these practices. Ethical and effective clinical tr…
Formative evaluation to assess communication technology access and health communication preferences of Alaska Native people
Objective:Information technology can improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare delivery by improving provider and patient access to health information. We conducted a nonrandomized, cross-sectional, self-report survey to determine whether Alaska Native and American Indian (AN/AI) people have access to the health communication technologies available through a patient-centered medical home. Methods: In 2011, we administered a self-r…
Engaging stakeholders to develop a depression management decision support tool in a tribal health system
Estimating Cotinine Associations and a Saliva Cotinine Level to Identify Active Cigarette Smoking in Alaska Native Pregnant Women
Risk, Reward, and the Double-Edged Sword
Objectives. Pharmacogenetic research and clinical testing raise important concerns for individuals and communities, especially where past medical research and practice has perpetrated harm and cultivated distrust of health care systems and clinicians. We investigated perceptions of pharmacogenetics among Alaska Native (AN) people. Methods. We held four focus groups for 32 ANs in south central Alaska to elicit views about pharmacogenetics in gener…
