ACEs are most common among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) and Multiracial groups, two groups that overlap substantially in population. We aimed to determine if the Multiracial population's high mean ACE score differs by those who do and do not identify as AI/AN. We analyzed Waves 1, 3, and 4 (1994-2009) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 12,372), estimating race-specific mean ACE scores and component prevalence, and disaggregating the Multiracial group by AI/AN identity. We compared means and prevalence ratios using Bonferroni-corrected Tukey's honestly significant tests of differences. Mean scores on a 10-point scale were higher among AI/AN (mean = 3.21, 95% CI: 2.54, 3.97), Multiracial AI/AN (2.95, 95% CI: 2.71, 3.18), Multiracial non-AI/AN (2.88, 95% CI: 2.57, 3.19), and Black (2.84, 95% CI: 2.65, 3.02) groups than White (2.35, 95% CI: 2.26, 2.44) and Asian/Pacific Islander (2.32, 95% CI: 2.09, 2.54) groups. Tests of mean and prevalence differences between the AI/AN and two Multiracial groups were all insignificant. The Multiracial population's high mean ACE score does not differ by those that do and do not identify as AI/AN. ACEs prevention strategies should be tailored to meet the specific needs of groups at higher risk of exposure to improve health equity.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"32 4","pages":"1-30"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146158738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants in this study self-identified as American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), were over the age of 18, and were currently enrolled or had been previously enrolled at a university. Participants completed a survey online via Qualtrics to gather information about their ethnic identity, frequency of historical loss thinking, and symptoms of depression. Survey data was analyzed using multiple regressions, correlation analyses, mediation analyses, and follow-up t-tests. Historical loss thinking was found to be very prevalent among this sample, and this was found to contribute significantly to depressive symptoms in AI/AN college students. Various aspects of ethnic identity may contribute to an increase or decrease in historical loss thinking and subsequent depressive symptoms, and this has significant implications for clinicians working with AI/AN college students.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"32 4","pages":"83-107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146158730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As hypothesized, frequent engagement in traditional cultural activities was protective for mental health status. ADL/IADL limitations were the largest risk factor for poor mental health among AI/AN/NH Elders, while engagement in social activity was the strongest protective factor. Additionally, the status of a grandparent as a primary caregiver for their grandchildren was associated with poorer mental health.

Research examining the role of TCPs on wellness in urban, multi-tribal communities, however, has only recently emerged over the last several decades. This study explored the association between TCP-related variables and substance use in an urban AI/AN community in Montana. Specifically, participant knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAB) regarding TCPs, their level of intent to participate in TCPs, and past year substance use were measured. This cross-sectional study used survey data from 194 AI/AN adults (66% female, 5% nonbinary; M age = 44). Positive KAB toward TCPs was found in 56.4% of respondents. Greater level of intent to participate in TCPs was found in 36.7% of respondents. Multivariate logistic regression showed individuals with positive KAB were less likely to report past year alcohol [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 0.49; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.26, 0.93] or other drug use (AOR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.76). Individuals who reported a greater level of intent to participate in TCPs were also less likely to report past year alcohol (AOR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.26, 0.98) or other drug use (AOR: 0.31; 95% CI: 0.08, 0.91).

Less is known about how place of residence (i.e., living on or off a reservation) relates to discrimination frequency and whether the strength and nature of the relationship between discrimination and mental health varies as a function of different living environments. In the current study, we examined frequency of discrimination, main reasons for discrimination, and relationships between discrimination for American Indians living both on and off a reservation. Relative to American Indian adults living off a reservation, American Indian adults living on reservation reported more experiences of discrimination (F(1, 846) = [15.94], p<.01, η² = .02) and identified more reasons for discrimination (F(1, 846) = [17.789], p<.001, η² = .02). Across residential contexts, race-related discrimination was most common, followed by gender discrimination. The relationship between discrimination and anxiety was significant in both residential contexts, while the relationship between discrimination frequency and depressive symptoms was only significant for those living outside of a tribal reservation. These findings highlight the importance of understanding how environmental context may affect patterns of discrimination and the relationship between discrimination and mental health in American Indians. Future research should elucidate resilience factors that are specific to living environments to reduce the negative impacts of discrimination on mental health for American Indian adults.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"32 3","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12542675/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To inform the feasibility of the intervention and to gain perspective, three focus groups were conducted among urban AI/AN adults receiving mental health treatment (n = 7), providers who serve urban AI/AN people (n = 7), and the GHUTS Community Advisory Board (n = 5). Three overarching conceptual themes emerged: 1) Diabetes is an important issue among urban AI/AN people receiving mental health treatment, 2) AI/AN traditional practices have an important role in diabetes prevention among urban AI/AN adults receiving mental health treatment, and 3) Gardening is beneficial for AI/AN people. Feedback on the GHUTS curriculum featured diabetes education, cultural elements, concerns specific to AI/AN people in Los Angeles County, cooking, physical exercise and diet, prayer and mindfulness, community sharing, and field trips.

This work was a collaboration with and had research approval from three Native nations in Arizona. In-depth interviews were conducted from May to November 2021; 92 participants were interviewed. The most prevalent IDOH and associated themes included strategies to cope with emotional and social stressors and the impact on physical and mental health, relationships, kinship, cultural continuity, and self-determination. The groups experienced differences in mental wellbeing aligned with their occupation. For example, first responders experienced disruption and social dissonance in the workplace due to varying political views, and traditional knowledge holders/ practitioners experienced a revitalization of cultural strategies to maintain health. Although the differences between occupational groups are striking, the similarities that did exist were grounded in Indigenous identity and worldview that emphasize relationships and connection to the natural environment.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"32 3","pages":"42-69"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12533485/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145150951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
