Abstract

Despite their recent high-profile removal by a handful of professional sports teams, Native-themed mascots continue to be a mainstay of professional, college, and youth athletics. To determine the extent of the literature on the health impacts on American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) as a result of Native-themed mascots, we conducted a scoping review of primary research articles, utilizing the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) research framework as a guide to define health impacts broadly to include impacts on determinants of health and health disparities. Three databases were utilized, MEDLINE/PubMed, PsycINFO, and JSTOR, to identify the peer-reviewed literature for a twenty-year period that studied the health impacts of Native-themed mascots. We found 26 articles and books in the peer-reviewed literature and additional gray literature during the time period of 1999-2019. To better identify the relationship between Native-themed mascots and health impacts, we reviewed the articles by their focus on three groups: AI/ANs generally, AI/AN youth, and those that studied all races/ethnicities. The majority of research included in this review illustrates overall negative impacts of Native-themed mascots on health and its determinants that influence health and health disparities. Public health efforts should include review and replacement of harmful Native-themed mascots in professional and academic sports to avoid negative health impacts on AI/AN adults and youth.

本土主题吉祥物对健康影响的二十年研究：范围审查》。

尽管最近有少数职业运动队高调取消了吉祥物，但以原住民为主题的吉祥物仍然是职业、大学和青少年体育运动的主流。为了确定有关原住民主题吉祥物对美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/ANs）健康影响的文献范围，我们对主要研究文章进行了一次范围审查，利用美国国家少数民族健康和健康差异研究所（NIMHD）的研究框架作为指导，对健康影响进行了广泛定义，包括对健康决定因素和健康差异的影响。我们使用了三个数据库：MEDLINE/PubMed、PsycINFO 和 JSTOR，以确定二十年内研究本土主题吉祥物对健康影响的同行评审文献。我们在同行评议文献中找到了 26 篇文章和书籍，还找到了 1999-2019 年期间的其他灰色文献。为了更好地确定原住民主题吉祥物与健康影响之间的关系，我们按照文章对三个群体的关注程度进行了审查：一般的美国原住民/印第安人、美国原住民/印第安人青少年以及研究所有种族/民族的文章。本综述中包含的大多数研究说明了土著主题吉祥物对健康的总体负面影响，以及影响健康和健康差异的决定因素。公共卫生工作应包括审查和更换职业和学术体育中有害的原住民主题吉祥物，以避免对阿拉斯加原住民成年人和青少年的健康产生负面影响。
