Formative Assessment to Improve Cancer Screenings in American Indian Men: Native Patient Navigator and mHealth Texting
Cancer screening rates among American Indian men remain low, without programs specifically designed for men. This paper describes the Community-Based Participatory Research processes and assessment of cancer screening behavior and the appropriateness of the mHealth approach for Hopi men's promotion of cancer screenings. This Community-Based Participatory Research included a partnership with H.O.P.I. (Hopi Office of Prevention and Intervention) Ca…
Healthy Pregnancies Project: Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of a Community Intervention to Reduce Tobacco Use among Alaska Native Women
Substantial gaps remain in the evidence base for prenatal tobacco use interventions among Indigenous women. Using a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT), the Healthy Pregnancies Project evaluated a community-level intervention for Alaska Native (AN) women in rural western Alaska. Sixteen villages were randomly assigned to usual care (control, n = 8 villages) or usual care plus a community-level intervention delivered by local AN "Native Sist…

Cancer Screening and Risk Factor Rates Among American Indians
Objectives. We examined cancer screening and risk factor patterns in California using 4 different statistical tabulations of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) populations. Methods. We used the 2001 California Health Interview Survey to compare cancer screening and risk factor data across 4 different tabulation approaches. We calculated weighted prevalence estimates by gender and race/ethnicity for cancer screening and risk factors, sociode…
Implementing Women’s Cancer Screening Programs in American Indian and Alaska Native Populations
The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program provides funding to tribes and tribal organizations to implement comprehensive cancer screening programs using a program model developed for state health departments. We conducted a multiple-site case study using a participatory research process to describe how 5 tribal programs implemented screening services, and to identify strategies used to address challenges in delivering servic…

American Indian and Alaska Native Cancer Data Issues
INTRODUCTION TO CANCER AS AN ISSUE AMONG AMERICAN INDIANS AND ALASKA NATIVES\nCancer is a growing problem among American Indians and Alaska Natives. Unfortunately, both non-Native and First Nations peoples are less aware of the growing cancer dilemma than they are of alcohol, violence, diabetes, and other well-promoted and widely dispersed conditions within Native communities. In the second half of the twentieth century, cancer has become the lea…
Tobacco Use Policies and Practices in Diverse Indian Settings
INTRODUCTION\nCigarette smoke is an equal opportunity killer. Although health data on American Indian populations are less comprehensive than desirable, it is clear that smoking-related diseases are a major cause of mortality. Because norms in the social environment are crucial in determining behaviors that lead to health or to illness, this paper reports data on policies that Indian agencies have implemented to regulate the personal use of tobac…
Cancer Incidence, Survival, and Mortality among American Indians and Alaska Natives
INTRODUCTION\nIt is difficult to profile the American Indian population, because there are 511 federally recognized tribes and villages, each of which has its own unique culture and history. This report must be considered a discussion of the "average American Indian," which of course does not exist, but we are limited by available data sources and space.\nThe 1980 United States census identified a total of 1,364,033 American Indians and 278 Ameri…
