The virtual indigenous data science academy
Data science skills are essential for advancing knowledge of health inequities in marginalized and medically underserved populations. As of 2021 there were no programs in data science in the Tribal Colleges and Universities in North Dakota and the neighboring states. The Virtual Indigenous Data Science Academy was established in 2021 by the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences in collaboration with three North Dakota …
Premature mortality patterns among American Indians in North Dakota, 2010–2019 (pre-pandemic)
Background: According to the National Center for Health Data, in 2017 American Indians in North Dakota experience the highest age-adjusted mortality rate in the United States. Data shows that the age-adjusted death rate for all North Dakotans has steadily declined since 1979. However, mortality remains high among American Indians in North Dakota. Purpose: Assess pre-pandemic disparities and age-specific mortality patterns to better inform and gui…
A comparison of the substance use related risk and protective factor profiles for American Indian and White American youth
Background American Indian youth are disproportionately impacted by substance use compared to White American youth in the United States. This mixed studies review focused on gathering data to examine the similarities and differences between the risk and protective factor profiles for substance use among American Indian and White American youth aged 10–21. Methods A scan of the existing literature was needed to review substance use related risk an…
Coming together for something good
Introduction Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) science is growing among Indigenous communities. Indigenous communities are adapting and implementing evidence-based treatments for substance use disorders (SUD) to fit the needs of their communities. D&I science offers frameworks, models, and theories to increase implementation success, but research is needed to center Indigenous knowledge, enhancing D&I so that it is more applicable within Ind…
Creating and Implementing an Indigenous Evaluation Framework Process With Minnesota Tribes
This article is an exemplar of incorporating traditional Indigenous approaches into evaluation practice and addresses the Eastern Door—Be a Good Relative. Throughout the creation of a process for implementing an Indigenous evaluation framework, the American Indian Public Health Resource Center team came to the work rested and ready in ways that reflected traditional, cultural, and spiritual ways of knowing. Throughout the authors’ process, they r…
Centering culture in the treatment of opioid use disorder with American Indian and Alaska Native Communities
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities are disproportionally impacted by the opioid overdose epidemic. There remains a dearth of research evaluating methods for effectively implementing treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) within these communities. We describe proceedings from a 2‐day Collaborative Board (CB) meeting tasked with developing an implementation intervention for AI/AN clinical programs to improve the delivery of medicat…
Exploring Clinical Risk Factors for Breast Cancer Among American Indian Women
Objective: Very little is known about the breast cancer risk profile among American Indian women. Previous research shows that the proportion of American Indian/Alaska Native women with baseline characteristics (commonly known breast cancer risk factors) differs from other ethnicities. This retrospective case control study was designed to the explore the association of these factors among American Indian women with and without breast cancer. Meth…
Identification of Cancer Related Risk and Protective Factors for American Indian Youth
Introduction Many causes of cancer related morbidity and mortality can be traced back to childhood behaviors. The culmination of cancer related risk and protective factors impacting the health and wellbeing of American Indian youth is unknown. The aim of this Mixed Studies Review was to identify cancer related risk and protective factors among American Indian youth. Results will be shared with Tribal communities to inform surveillance efforts. Me…
Urban Land-Based Healing
Urban Indigenous populations face significant health and social disparities across Canada. With high rates of homelessness and substance use, there are often few options for urban Indigenous Peoples to access land-based healing programs despite the increasingly known and appreciated benefits. In May 2018, the first urban land-based healing camp opened in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, one of the first to our knowledge in Canada or th…
