Although the overall suicide risks are high for Alaska Indigenous people, suicide outcomes vary substantially among communities. The study examined whether indicators constructed from publicly available data of community institutions associated with the cultural continuity hypothesis correlated with lower suicide rates in the 140 small, largely Indigenous communities in rural Alaska. Results of negative binomial regressions for place-level suicide deaths showed that indicators representing community institutions were significantly associated with a large relative and absolute reduction in suicide deaths over an 11-year period among the study communities. Significant effects were found for community institutions in governance, religious practice, livelihoods, and culture. Specific patterns suggested that less fragmentation within each community, signified by unified governance (one local authority), a single religious congregation, economic inclusion, and language fluency across age groups reduced suicide risk. The findings suggest that community institutions that promote cultural continuity may offer protection for a variety of health challenges for survivors of historical trauma, although research to identify the protective role of these institutions must take careful account of the local historical context.</p>","PeriodicalId":16921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145280671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, using a co-production approach as a means of generating new knowledge, our study sought to identify the barriers young people and parents from Black African backgrounds face, in expressing their feelings/emotions and having conversations about mental health and wellbeing. Two Focus Group Discussions involving 19 young people (aged 11-19 years) and 12 in-depth interviews (IDIs) with parents and/community leaders was conducted. Data were analysed using Braun and Clark's thematic analysis approach. Our analysis revealed shared barriers across both groups, presented under four themes: understanding of mental health and source of support; lack of good communication in families; beliefs about societal perceptions; and response to racism incidents. Differences emerged on both groups shared expectations when dealing with issues of emotional concerns. Also, there is a sharp distinction in how young people and adults made sense of the cause of these barriers. While young people associated the cause to their parents' 'immigrant' aspiration for success, adults on the other hand attributed them to factors like a lack of close parent-child relationships and their own past childhood experiences. Furthermore, some parents' efforts to build resilience against racism, often through acculturation were found to inadvertently limit open conversations about mental health. Understanding these perceptions can help improve mental health literacy and inform culturally appropriate strategies for supporting mental health communication within Black African families and communities.</p>","PeriodicalId":16921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145286391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to explore the cultural food practices of African migrant women living in Australia and to identify their sources of nutrition information during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews with fifteen women who were either currently pregnant or had experienced pregnancy within the past 5 years were conducted. Participants were recruited through purposive, convenience, and snowball sampling methods. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Three themes were identified: food practices during pregnancy and postpartum, barriers to maintaining cultural food practices, and nutritional information. Findings reveal that only a few participants maintained their cultural food practices, influenced by the limited availability and high costs of African foods, food acculturation, inadequate postpartum support, and varying knowledge about pregnancy and postpartum diets in Australia. Participants considered the information they received from healthcare providers about traditional foods to be in conflict with other sources of information and highlighted the absence of culturally relevant nutritional information in hospital-provided materials. Designing culturally appropriate nutrition resources that include African foods could help pregnant African migrant women navigate competing nutrition information. Such resources could assist healthcare professionals when delivering culturally tailored nutrition guidance, thereby contributing to the health and well-being of African migrant women and their children living in Australia.</p>","PeriodicalId":16921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145251541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, cognitive health in the context of the pandemic is not well-known, particularly across diverse groups. The current study investigates ethnic differences in health during the COVID-19 pandemic by examining whether there are racial and ethnic differences in physical and mental health status, whether there are ethnic differences in performance in the cognitive domains of episodic memory, working memory, and verbal fluency, and whether ethnicity moderates the association between physical or mental health status and cognitive performance. To examine these associations, we analyzed a sample of 600 Black, White, and Middle Eastern/North African (MENA) older adults from the Detroit Area Wellness Network COVID Supplement, a regionally representative sample of older adults aged 65 and older. Path analyses revealed that Black participants showed a higher burden of chronic illness than other groups, and White participants scored highest in all three domains of cognition.

Minority patients experienced longer hospital stays, greater procedural costs, and higher healthcare resource utilization. While some studies reported higher post-procedural mortality or readmission rates among minorities, findings on complication rates were mixed. Contributing factors included socioeconomic stressors, Medicaid coverage, limited referrals to specialized centers, provider bias, and geographic barriers. Newer studies also highlighted disparities in TMVr access even within equal-access systems and identified income-related disparities independent of race.
