To address community-based barriers, the study developed the Tribal Resource Guide, a comprehensive list of available resources that was created through partnerships with community programs and staff. In addition to the guide, the study also developed the Poverty and Culture Training in order to train program staff at numerous community programs to better understand and serve lower socioeconomic and/or Native clients. The two projects facilitated collaboration between community programs and provided tools for programs to address barriers and ultimately better serve their target audience. Despite challenges, the transdisciplinary approach used with the local community maximized potential for success. This process and model could be duplicated in communities with similar demographics, resources, and barriers.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"108 1","pages":"134-150"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85330353","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}

Transdisciplinary research, one of the three core values of the Collaborative Research Center for American Indian Health, seeks to go beyond methods of knowledge production occurring solely within disciplinary boundaries, because real-world societal problems do not adhere to such restrictions. Community involvement is an essential component for successful research partnerships with American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. We posit that transdisciplinary approaches, which considers community-level expertise as an equitable component on the research team, show great potential for advancing research in AI/AN communities.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"64 1","pages":"15-41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83454456","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}

{"title":"Commentary: A Movement to Reclaim American Indian Health through Tribal Sovereignty, Community Partnerships, and Growing Tribally-Driven Health Research.","authors":"V. O’Keefe","doi":"10.5820/aian.2602.2019.172","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5820/aian.2602.2019.172","url":null,"abstract":"Indigenous peoples have been engaged in resistance against the destructive effects of colonialism on Indigenous land, lives, all living things, and its impacts on the health and wellbeing of Native peoples since the first arrival of settlers in the Americas. This resistance, at its core, has been a movement to preserve Indigenous peoples, lands, identity, and ways of knowing, learning, respecting, and living harmoniously with the world. In the past half century, the spirit of Indigenous resistance has found its way to the field of health research. Starting with thoughtleaders like Vine Deloria Jr. in 1969, Indigenous scholars have pointed to problematic and harmful research practices that have taken place on tribal lands, and that have sought to expand the Western canon of scientific knowledge without providing solutions to, with, and for Indigenous communities. Since that time, a narrative around collective protection, collaborative research partnerships (i.e., community-based participatory research in all its forms), and tribal sovereignty over research is increasing rapidly. This special issue of American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research takes a giant step forward – beyond a collective resistance against harmful research practices – to a reclamation of collaboration, Indigenous knowledge, strengths, and tribal sovereignty within health research. This group of articles highlights a diverse coalition of tribal communities, transdisciplinary health researchers, academic institutions, community organizations, service providers, and federal agencies that comprise the Collaborative Research Center for American Indian Health (CRCAIH; Kenyon et al., this issue). CRCAIH goals include improving AI health through strategic development of tribal research infrastructure and sustainability of health research with a focus on social determinants (Kenyon et al., this issue). Supported by the National Institutes of Health, the CRCAIH provides a promising pathway to eliminate health disparities among AI communities—Oglala Sioux Tribe, Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate, Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, and Spirit Lake Nation—in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest regions.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"44 1","pages":"172-176"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89643811","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}

The Wicozani Instrument measures mental, physical, and spiritual health and their importance to an individual's quality of life. The instrument's validity and reliability was examined through two studies. Study 1 utilized standardized measures from Native (i.e., Awareness of Connectedness Scale) and Western (i.e., Psychological Sense of School Membership and Suicide Ideation Questionnaire) epistemologies with Native and non-Native youth. Study 2 utilized a community created measure (i.e., Indigenous Healing Strategies Scale) with Dakota women. Results suggest the Wicozani Instrument is valid and reliable. The development of an Indigenous measure of overall health and well-being addresses Western atomistic frameworks, which often perpetuate the perception of Native identity as a risk factor for poor health, and works to disrupt the Cycle of Native Health Disparities.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"282 1","pages":"96-122"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77119408","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}

Elders (N = 32) were compared on the Barriers to Being Physically Active Quiz after participating in a pilot physical activity trial. Elders were classified into high- and low-barrier groups at baseline and compared on self-reported physical activity, health-related quality of life, pedometer step counts, and 6-minute walk performance. At the conclusion of the 6-week trial, only the lack of willpower subscale significantly decreased. The low-barrier group reported significantly higher physical activity engagement and improved mental health quality of life than the high-barrier group. The groups did not differ on daily step counts or 6-minute walk performance. Additional research is needed with a larger sample to understand relevant activity barriers in this population and assess whether they can be modified through participation in structured physical activity and exercise programs.","PeriodicalId":46147,"journal":{"name":"American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research","volume":"31 1","pages":"127-140"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75093428","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}
