Trust in Healthcare Providers Among American Indians in the Midwest
Prescription drug misuse disproportionately impacts American Indian communities, yet limited research explores how trust in healthcare settings affects behaviors related to prescription drug use. Using data from a 2017 cross-sectional survey of 781 American Indian adults in the Plains region, this study aims to examine the association between trust in health information provided by physicians and the misuse of prescribed medication, while identif…
American Indian Tribal College Students' Receptivity to Electronic Cigarette Marketing
Objectives: In this study, we examined the relationship between receptivity to electronic cigarette(E-cigs) marketing and associations with current prevalence by type of commercial tobacco (cigarettes vs E-cigs). Methods: Students (N=150) at a Midwestern Tribal College were surveyed about their use of various tobacco products and their exposure and receptivity to E-cigs marketing as a part of a larger mixed methods study. Results: Overall, 17.4% …
Baseline characteristics of American Indian smokeless tobacco users participating in two pilot cessation studies
Ensuring Healthy American Indian Generations for Tomorrow through Safe and Healthy Indoor Environments
American Indians (AI) have the highest rate of severe physical housing problems in the U.S. (3.9%). Little information exists about the environmental hazards in AI homes. The purposes of this paper are to discuss challenges that were encountered when recruiting AI for a home-and employment-based environmental health assessments, highlight major successes, and propose recommendations for future indoor environmental health studies. The Center for A…
A longitudinal study of tobacco use among American Indian and Alaska Native tribal college students
First year students at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas will be recruited over four consecutive years and will be surveyed annually and repeatedly through year 5 of the study. We will use both longitudinal quantitative surveys and qualitative focus group methods to examine key measures and determinants of initiation and use among this high risk group
Using Focus Groups in Community-Based Participatory Research
A community-based participatory approach requires that community members be involved in all phases of the research process. We describe three focus group studies with American Indians in Kansas and Missouri, using a newly developed method of conducting and analyzing focus groups with community input (72 focus groups, 519 participants). We conducted two needs assessment studies focused on barriers to breast and colorectal cancer screening and one …
Patterns of Cigarette Smoking Initiation in Two Culturally Distinct American Indian Tribes
Objectives. To better understand patterns of initiation among American Indians we examined age-related patterns of smoking initiation during adolescence and young adulthood in 2 American Indian tribes. Methods. We used log-rank comparison and a Cox proportional hazard regression model to analyze data from a population-based study of Southwest and Northern Plains American Indians aged 18 to 95 years who initiated smoking by age 18 years or younger…
Confirmatory factor analysis of the child-feeding questionnaire among parents of adolescents
Correlates of Ideal Body Size Among Black and White Adolescents
Factors Associated with Physician Discussion of Health Behaviors with Adolescents
Tobacco Has a Purpose, Not Just a Past
Tobacco has long held spiritual significance to Native people of North America but, because of recreational use, it has become a health risk relatively recently. More Native people smoke than any other ethnic group (41 percent vs. 24 percent in whites and blacks), and death rates caused by tobacco-related diseases are disproportionately high. However, no tested, culturally tailored smoking cessation programs exist for this group. We used a critic…
Sharing the blame
Our analysis provides a reasonable first estimate at sharing the blame for the long-term health consequences of smoking among the major brands that encourage adolescents to start smoking
Does advertising promote smokeless tobacco use among adolescent boys? Evidence from California
Objectives To assess trends in smokeless tobacco use and to identify risk factors that distinguish youths who use or who are at risk of using smokeless tobacco. Design Population based telephone surveys conducted in 1990,1992, and 1993. Subjects Adolescent boys in California aged 12 to 17 years and men between the ages of 18 and 24. Sample sizes were 3912 in 1990, 883 in 1992, and 2814 in 1993. Main outcome measures Current use and susceptibility…
