“Wherever I Go, I Have It Inside of Me”: Indigenous Cultural Dance Narratives as Substance Abuse and HIV Prevention in an Urban Danza Mexica Community
INTRODUCTION: "Mexican American Indian" (MAI) is a large and diverse population for which little empirical research on alcohol and other drug (AOD) use and HIV is available, yet for which there is a disproportionate risk. Indigenous health narratives and participation in place- and settings-based cultural practices can be protective in chronic and co-occurring disease prevention and health promotion for Indigenous people. This study explores the …
Being on the walk put it somewhere in my body”: The meaning of place in health for Indigenous women
Relationship to place is integral to Indigenous health. A qualitative, secondary phenomenological analysis of in-depth interviews with four non-Choctaw Indigenous women participating in an outdoor, experiential tribally-specific Choctaw health leadership study uncovered culturally grounded narratives using thematic analysis as an analytic approach. Results revealed that physically being in historical trauma sites of other Indigenous groups involv…
Diabetes, mental health, and utilization of mental health professionals among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults
National reports of diabetes and mental health for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) are high, yet mental health professional access is low. We used multiple logistic regression to analyze data from the 2014 NHPI National Health Interview Survey. We evaluated the association between diabetes and serious psychological distress, and the interaction effect of mental health professional utilization among 2,587 adults. Self-reported diabete…

Findings describe community perceptions of AOD and HIV knowledge, stigma, and risk. The majority of participants identified AOD and more than half perceived HIV to be s…

The "Grand Challenges for Social Work," is a call to action for innovative responses to society's most pressing social problems. In this article, we respond to the "Grand Challenge" of Creating Social Responses to a Changing Environment from our perspective as Indigenous scholars. Over the last several decades, diminishing natural resources, pollution, over-consumption, and the exploitation of the natural environment have led to climate change ev…

Utilizing narratives from members of a Pacific Northwest tribe, this paper explores perceptions about behaviors affecting cardiovascular health through tribal members' lived experiences related to place-based environmental historical trauma. Findings from narrative analysis indicate that ambivalence is an effect of historical trauma and comp…
