“…11,12 While such behaviour is not necessarily universal, its role in defining health and health behaviour is unclear. Poor health status and participation in risky health behaviour reported within Aboriginal populations in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand [11][12][13][14][15][16] may reflect such effects.…”

The main objectives of this paper are to compare Aboriginal and Canadian health status and physician use and to identify the factors associated with the use of physician services. Data are drawn from the 1991 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) and the 1991 General Social Survey (GSS), which are weighted random samples of the Aboriginal and total Canadian populations, respectively. The results demonstrate that Aboriginals were much less likely to use physician services, even though Aboriginals rank their health similarly to the total Canadian population. Location becomes an important aspect of both physician use and health status, with Aboriginals residing on-reserve generally having lower levels of self-assessed health and less likely to have seen a physician. While Aboriginals with the poorest health status were more likely to have seen a physician, other factors including education were found to be barriers to use of health care. Aboriginal identity and cultural orientation provided mixed results.

“…One of the underlying premises of many CIRSR is that AOD problems rose in tandem with the loss of cultural traditions and that the renewal of those traditions and their adaptation to contemporary needs can provide a framework for recovery of the person, family, and community (Bowser & Bilal, 2001;Sanders, 2002; for studies of the association of recovery with increased cultural identification, see Flores, 1985, andWestermeyer &Neider, 1984).…”

Although addiction-recovery mutual-aid support groups have grown dramatically and now span secular, spiritual, and religious frameworks of recovery, most of what is known from the standpoint of science about these groups is based on the early participation of treated populations in Alcoholics Anonymous. Many questions remain about the effects of participation in other mutual-aid groups and different pathways and styles of recovery within and across diverse ethnic groups. This article reviews existing data on ethnic group participation in recovery mutual-aid groups, summarizes the history of culturally indigenous recovery movements within Native American and African American communities in the United States, and describes strategies aimed at increasing recovery prevalence and the quality of life in recovery for persons of color in Philadelphia, PA.
