The Elders’ Resilience Curriculum
Ꮒꭶꮿꭲꮠ Ꭶꮪꭹ Ꮒꮸꮑꮝꮧ
Background While Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles are well-established in Indigenous health research, the process of co-developing research governance structures remains largely undocumented in academic literature. This gap represents both a practical barrier and a theoretical gap in understanding Indigenous research governance in alignment with Indigenous Self-Determination. Methods We used a descriptive retrospective cas…

Objective: To examine the Indigenous Nourishment Scales (INS), a set of community-developed strengths-based measures of nourishment, for psychometric validity and reliability through community-based research with two urban American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Design: Cross-sectional survey of health measures and INS. Descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), correlation analysis and regression were used to determine…
Kipiyecipakiciipe (“coming home”)
Background American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) peoples bear the highest U.S. burden of substance-use disorder (SUD) and drug-overdose mortality. Mechanistic evidence linking community-defined cultural protective factors to neurobehavioral pathways of SUD risk is virtually absent. Most AI/AN health studies are descriptive and rarely integrate neuroscience. Objectives The Kipiyecipakiciipe (“coming home”) project aims to (i) operationalize Sh…
Someday, I'll be an ancestor
Intergenerational connectedness broadly encompasses relations among humans, lands, and all living and spiritual beings, and functions as an important part of Indigenous well‐being. Many public health campaigns and interventions aim to promote connectedness to support holistic wellness and reduce health inequities. Currently, however, there are no measurement tools to assess intergenerational connectedness to support culturally grounded research a…
Exploring Definitions, Correlates, and Solutions to Food Insecurity during Covid-19
A mixed methods community-based participatory research study was conducted with Native American Lifelines of Baltimore to: (1) understand prevalence, correlates, and lived experiences with food insecurity and (2) explore the effects of and potential solutions to food insecurity. An online survey was completed by 250 American Indian and Alaska Native adults, and a subset of survey respondents (N=11) completed interviews. Quantitative analysis reve…
Pilot evaluation of a Psychological First Aid online training for Covid-19 frontline workers in American Indian/Alaska Native communities
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated mental health concerns and stress among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) in the United States, as well as among frontline workers responding to the pandemic. Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a promising intervention to support mental wellbeing and coping skills during and after traumatic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Since PFA is often implemented rapidly in the wake of a disast…
Honoring our teachings
Introduction American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities continue to flourish and innovate in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Storytelling is an important tradition for AIAN communities that can function as an intervention modality. To support the needs of AIAN children and caregivers, we (a collaborative workgroup of Indigenous health researchers) developed a culturally grounded storybook that provides pandemic-related public health …
Community-Engaged Development of Strengths-Based Nutrition Measures
Mainstream approaches to nutrition typically focus on diet consumption, overlooking multi-dimensional aspects of nutrition that are important to American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. To address health challenges faced by AI/AN communities, strengths-based measures of nutrition grounded in community worldviews are needed. In collaboration with AI/AN communities in Baltimore and Minneapolis, we developed the Indigenous Nourishment Scal…
Truth and reconciliation for whom? Transitional justice for Indigenous peoples in American psychology
In October 2021, the American Psychological Association apologized to people of color in the United States for its role in systemic racism. Spurred by a national racial reckoning, Indigenous Peoples have been regularly incorporated into initiatives redressing America's legacy of racism. Although Indigenous Peoples have been racialized during the formation of the United States, this process is intertwined with colonization-the systematic disposses…
Understanding opioid use within a Southwestern American Indian Reservation Community
PURPOSE: Morbidity and mortality due to nonprescription use of opioids has been well documented following the significant increase in the availability of prescription opioids in the early 2000s. The aim of this paper is to explore community beliefs about correlates of opioid risk, protective factors, and behavioral functions of opioid misuse among American Indian youth and young adults living on or near a reservation. METHODS: Qualitative in-dept…
Centering Indigenous Knowledges and Worldviews
Globally, Indigenous communities, leaders, mental health providers, and scholars have called for strengths-based approaches to mental health that align with Indigenous and holistic concepts of health and wellness. We applied the Indigenist Ecological Systems Model to strengths-based case examples of Indigenous youth mental health and wellness work occurring in CANZUS (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and United States). The case examples include r…
Development of “Culture Forward
OBJECTIVE: Indigenous knowledge and practices promote American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN; Native) communities' health and well-being.

A sequential explanatory mixed methods study was pla…
Our Collective Needs and Strengths
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised national consciousness about health inequities that disproportionately impact American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, yet urban AI/AN communities continue to remain a blind spot for health leaders and policymakers. While all United States cities have been the traditional homelands of AI/AN peoples since time immemorial, urban AI/ANs are consistently excluded in local and national health assessments, inc…
Social Network Differences Between American Indian Youth Who have Attempted Suicide and Have Suicide Ideation
Suicide Ideation and Depression Quality of Life Ratings in a Reservation-Based Community of Native American Youths and Young Adults
Suicide among adolescents is a significant public health concern in the U.S., especially within American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. Lack of quality of life (QoL) estimates for both suicide ideation and depression specific to the AIAN population hinders the ability to compare interventions in cost-effectiveness analysis. We surveyed 200 AI youth and young adults from the Fort Apache Indian Reservation to estimate utility weights …
Development and Dissemination of a Strengths-Based Indigenous Children's Storybook
The traditions, strengths, and resilience of communities have carried Indigenous peoples for generations. However, collective traumatic memories of past infectious diseases and the current impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in many Indigenous communities point to the need for Indigenous strengths-based public health resources. Further, recent data suggest that COVID-19 is escalating mental health and psychosocial health in…
The Common Factors of Grit, Hope, and Optimism Differentially Influence Suicide Resilience
No study to date has simultaneously examined the commonalities and unique aspects of positive psychological factors and whether these factors uniquely account for a reduction in suicide risk. Using a factor analytic approach, the current study examined the relationships between grit, hope, optimism, and their unique and overlapping relationships in predicting suicide ideation. Results of principle axis factor analysis demonstrated close relations…

Experiencing racial microaggressions influences suicide ideation through perceived burdensomeness in African Americans
Racial microaggressions are a contemporary form of subtle discrimination that occur in everyday exchanges, and are associated with a variety of negative mental health outcomes, including suicide ideation. Previous work (e.g., Torres-Harding, Andrade, & Romero Diaz, 2012) has identified 6 dimensions of racial microaggressions: invisibility, criminality, low-achieving/undesirable culture, sexualization, foreigner/not belonging, and environmental in…

Historical loss thinking and symptoms of depression are influenced by ethnic experience in American Indian college students
Results indicated that a strong ethnic identification, desire to predominantly socialize with other American Indians, and perceptions of discrimination were associated with increased historical loss thinking. Feelings of comfort and assimilation with the mainstream American culture were negatively related to historical loss thinking. Only perception of discrimination was directly related to symptoms of depression; however, ethnic identification a…
Interpersonal suicide risk for American Indians
American Indians (AIs) experience increased suicide rates compared with other groups in the United States. However, no past studies have examined AI suicide by way of a recent empirically supported theoretical model of suicide.
