Culturally centering alcohol use assessments
Objectives: There are high rates of both alcohol abstinence and hazardous drinking among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Few measures exist that examine alcohol use consequences within a relevant historical and cultural context for Indigenous populations, hindering the ability of communities, researchers, and practitioners to effectively address alcohol misuse. In the present study, we disc…
“Guide them to have a future orientation”
Background The present study used qualitative research methods to assess interest in contingency management (CM; where incentives are provided after the return of an alcohol negative urine sample) enhanced with substance-free activities among emerging adults residing on a rural reservation. The research informs the future development and implementation of a clinical trial to address alcohol use among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) 18-2…
Evaluating risk factors and protective clinical interventions for opioid use disorder and overdose in American Indian/Alaska Native populations
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations often experience higher rates of opioid use disorder (OUD) and opioid overdose deaths compared to other racial/ethnic groups. This study evaluates modifiable risk factors and protective clinical interventions for OUD and overdose prevention interventions among AI/AN patients to understand potential points of intervention. This retrospective cohort study utilized electronic health record data from …

Provider perspectives on the impact of Covid-19 on treatment of substance use and opioid use disorders among American Indian and Alaska Native adults
Introduction: American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities are more likely to suffer negative consequences related to substance misuse. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the opioid poisoning crisis, in combination with ongoing treatment barriers resulting from settler-colonialism, systemic oppression and racial discrimination. AI/AN adults are at greatest risk of COVID-19 related serious illness and death. In collaboration with an Indigenous…
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…
A Systematic Review of Trauma and Substance Use in American Indian and Alaska Native Individuals
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…
Sexuality and Gender Identity Inequities in Substance Use Disorder and Its Treatment among American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian College Students
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate inequities in substance use disorder (SUD) diagnosis, opioid misuse, marijuana misuse, SUD treatment utilization, and utilization of university mental health services among sexual and gender minority (SGM) American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian (AI/AN/NH) college students. METHODS: Data consisting of 8,103 AI/AN/NH students' responses to the American College Health Association's Na…
A trend analysis of the prevalence of opioid misuse, social support, and suicide attempt among American Indian/Alaska native high school students in New Mexico
No significant trend was observed for suicide attempt. We observed a significant decreasing trend in opioid misuse between 2009 through 2017 but a significant increase from 2017 to 2019. A higher level of maternal education (college or above), and an A or B school grade performance were protective against both opioid misuse and suicide attempt
The Validity of the Short Inventory of Problems and Drinking Intensity among Urban American Indian Adults
BACKGROUND: American Indian (AI) adults have both high prevalence rates of alcohol abstinence and alcohol use disorders compared to non-Hispanic White adults. We investigated the applicability and validity of the Short Inventory of Problems (SIP) among AI urban adults and the moderating effect of biological sex. METHODS: = 124) provided baseline, 3-, 6- and 9-month data. Measures included Form 90 and the SIP, which includes 5 domains of alcohol-r…
The Condom Use Self-Efficacy Scale in Substance Use Disorder Treatment-Seeking American Indian Adults
Background American Indians (AIs) experience substance use disorder and sexual risk related inequities with elevated rates of sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancy, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Substance misuse is associated with risky sexual behaviors including condomless sex. Objectives: The current study aimed to test the validity of the Condom Use Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSES) and the relationship between self-efficacy …
Trends in the Use of Naltrexone for Addiction Treatment among Alcohol Use Disorder Admissions in U.S. Substance Use Treatment Facilities
Naltrexone remains underutilized for AUD, and factors that influence prescription of medication are multifaceted. This study may contribute to the creation of effective interventions aimed at reducing naltrexone disparities for AUD
Substance Use Research with Indigenous Communities
Highlights Indigenous Peoples are concerned with previous experience of substance use research as disempowering. Community psychology principles may inform ethical community‐driven substance use research. We explore these principles through seven Indigenous substance use studies across the U.S. and Canada. Indigenous substance use research reflects, expands, and challenges community psychology principles. We discuss implications for Indigenous su…
Native Americans resolve alcohol use disorder
NAs resolved AUD via multiple methods and efforts. What worked for one individual did not necessarily work the first time or for another individual. Although some motivators or actions were unique to NAs, others were similar to findings in the general population. Because multiple and varied motivations and actions may be required to resolve AUD, individuals with AUD and their loved ones should persevere in their efforts to make positive changes. …
I'm not one of them”
The majority of people with alcohol use disorders do not seek formal treatment. Research on barriers to help-seeking have only recently focused on ethnic minority populations. The present study investigated the extent to which an adult American Indian (AI) sample experienced similar and/or unique barriers to help-seeking as have been reported in the literature. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, 56 (54% male) AIs with lifetime alcoh…
American Indian methamphetamine and other drug use in the Southwestern United States
To investigate the extent of methamphetamine and other drug use among American Indians (AIs) in the Four Corners region, we developed collaborations with Southwestern tribal entities and treatment programs in and around New Mexico. We held nine focus groups, mostly with Southwestern AI participants (N = 81) from three diverse New Mexico communities to understand community members, treatment providers, and clients/relatives views on methamphetamin…
Testing of an orthogonal measure of cultural identification with adult Mission Indians
The Orthogonal Cultural Identification Scale (OCIS; Oetting & Beauvais, 1990-91) has been validated among Native American youth, but not adults. The present study sought to test the reliability (internal consistency) and validity (construct and factorial) of the OCIS among an adult Native American sample consisting of 389 Mission Indians (61% female). Participants were recruited from reservations using a venue sampling strategy. The OCIS was comp…
