Non-medical opioid (NMO) use in Canadian adolescents
Understanding the circle of care
There is a need for broadening understandings of health and well-being to fill the critical and persistent gap in culturally safe health and social service provision for Indigenous populations. While the importance of Indigenous cultural interventions in healthcare is increasingly recognized and the perspective of Indigenous patients increasingly sought, there has been little research on the views of Indigenous service providers themselves. Our s…
Examining inequities in access to opioid agonist treatment (OAT) take-home doses (THD)
The impact of cultural identity, parental communication, and peer influence on substance use among Indigenous youth in Canada
Heavy drinking and smoking have been found to be among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality within Indigenous youth in North America. The focus of this study was to examine the relative roles of cultural identity, parent-child communication about the harms of substance use (SU), and perception about peers' opinions on heavy drinking and cigarette smoking among Indigenous youth. Strong Indigenous cultural identity, parent-child communicat…
Evaluating Facilitators’ Experience Delivering a Stress-Reducing Intervention for Indigenous Women with and without HIV
Indigenous women encounter increased stressful life experiences such as socioeconomic insecurities as well as inequities in health services and outcomes. These stress inequities, which stem from the historical and ongoing effects of settler colonialism, also worsen health outcomes for those women living with HIV. As a part of a broader research project on the impacts of stress-reducing interventions for indigenous women, this study examines the e…
Implementing Indigenous Youth Peer Mentorship
Indigenous youth are disproportionately represented among youth experiencing homelessness in Canada and are at an increased risk for mental health and substance use problems compared to non-Indigenous youth experiencing homelessness. Research is needed that considers how best to support Indigenous youth in acquiring and maintaining stable housing. Indigenous youth peer mentorship is one possible mechanism that warrants consideration, as Indigenou…
Trialing the feasibility of a critical time intervention for youth transitioning out of homelessness
Little is known regarding the specific types of service models and collaborations that are necessary to support diverse populations of youth in transition out of homelessness. Transitional supports addressing the complex needs of this population are needed to stabilize the array of housing arrangements that youth access. This study was a pilot randomized controlled trial of one such critical time intervention, called the Housing Outreach Program-…
Community-Based screening and triage versus standard referral of Aboriginal children
Health solutions for Aboriginal children should be guided by their community and grounded in evidence. This manuscript presents a prospective cohort study protocol, designed by a community-university collaborative research team. The study’s goal is to determine whether community-based screening and triage lead to earlier identification of children’s emotional health needs, and to improved emotional health 1 year later, compared to the standard re…
The perniciousness of perfectionism
OBJECTIVE: Over 50 years of research implicates perfectionism in suicide. Yet the role of perfectionism in suicide needs clarification due to notable between-study inconsistencies in findings, underpowered studies, and uncertainty about whether perfectionism confers risk for suicide. We addressed this by meta-analyzing perfectionism's relationship with suicide ideation and attempts. We also tested whether self-oriented, other-oriented, and social…
Research as Cultural Renewal
This article explores the application of two-eyed seeing in the first year of a three-year study about the effectiveness of cultural interventions in First Nations alcohol and drug treatment in Canada. Two-eyed seeing is recognized by Canada’s major health research funder as a starting point for bringing together the strengths of Indigenous and Western ways of knowing. With the aim of developing a culture-based measurement tool, our team carried …
Cultural interventions to treat addictions in Indigenous populations
BACKGROUND: Cultural interventions offer the hope and promise of healing from addictions for Indigenous people.a However, there are few published studies specifically examining the type and impact of these interventions. Positioned within the Honouring Our Strengths: Culture as Intervention project, a scoping study was conducted to describe what is known about the characteristics of culture-based programs and to examine the outcomes collected and…
