Abstract

Health advocates are increasingly using social media and mobile technology to reach American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth to address important health topics and enhance protective factors. Public health experts did not know to what extent AI/AN youth used these tools to access health resources during the pandemic. The Native Youth Health Tech Survey was administered online from October to November 2020 with 349 AI/AN youth 15 to 24 years old. Survey results indicated frequent technology use-68.7% sent 1-50 text messages per day, and 65.3% were on social media 3-7 hours per day. Instagram was the most popular channel used, and 53.5% of participants relied heavily on the Internet to access health information. The three most important health topics were Native identity, mental health, and social justice and equality. These findings can inform the design and dissemination of culturally grounded health resources across AI/AN communities to improve their reach and appeal, improving health outcomes, self-esteem, and cultural connectedness.

以土著青少年的需求和优先事项为中心：2020 年原住民青少年健康技术调查的结果。

健康倡导者越来越多地使用社交媒体和移动技术来接触美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）青年，以探讨重要的健康话题并增强保护因素。公共卫生专家并不了解美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民青年在大流行病期间使用这些工具获取卫生资源的程度。2020 年 10 月至 11 月，对 349 名 15 至 24 岁的阿拉斯加原住民/印第安人青年进行了在线 "原住民青年健康技术调查"。调查结果显示，技术使用频繁--68.7% 的人每天发送 1-50 条短信，65.3% 的人每天使用社交媒体 3-7 小时。Instagram 是最常用的渠道，53.5% 的参与者非常依赖互联网获取健康信息。三个最重要的健康主题是原住民身份、心理健康以及社会正义与平等。这些研究结果可以为设计和传播具有文化基础的健康资源提供参考，以提高其覆盖面和吸引力，改善健康结果、自尊和文化联系。

All topical areas relating to this field are addressed, such as psychology, psychiatry, nursing, sociology, anthropology, social work, and specific areas of education, medicine, history, and law.
