“…By making small changes in my activities, I can meet my goal to be happier and healthier. The application of strengths-based approaches has increasingly been used in diverse environments (such as the workplace and clinical settings [45,50,52,54,55]), communities, and populations (e.g., children, Indigenous communities) [48,49,[56][57][58][59]. For instance, Zhang et al [50] in a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, revealed that strengths-based, solution-focused brief therapy in medical settings had a significant effect on health-related psychosocial outcomes (e.g., depression, psychosocial adjustment to illness), with positive indicators for health-related behavioral outcomes (e.g., physical activity, nutrition score).…”

“…Strengths-based approaches to health and wellness have increasingly been used within Indigenous communities throughout the world [48,49,57,58,63]. Indigenous peoples have acknowledged the need to consider health and wellness from a more wholistic perspective (including spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing) reflecting a balance of human relationships with the natural and spiritual world, including connections amongst the land, individuals, family, community, and cultural and spiritual practices [63].…”

Health Benefits of Physical Activity: A Strengths-Based Approach

Our special series on Cardiac Rehabilitation outlined the importance of routine physical activity and/or exercise participation in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and many other chronic medical conditions. The evidence is overwhelming, demonstrating that nearly everyone can benefit from becoming more physically active. This messaging has been widely disseminated at regional, national, and international levels. Often, this messaging highlights a physical inactivity crisis and the health perils of not engaging in sufficient amounts of physical activity. This deficits-based messaging often includes generic threshold-based recommendations stating that health benefits can only be accrued with specific volumes or intensities of physical activity. In this Editorial, we argue that the current generic and deficits-based messaging misses a great opportunity to focus on the positive and to facilitate hope and real change at the individual, community, and population levels. We advocate a strengths-based approach to health and wellness promotion that focuses on the innate strengths of individuals, families, and communities to enable self-empowerment and self-determination related to health and wellness. By taking a strengths-based approach, we can build hope, promoting the positive aspects of routine physical activity and exercise participation and providing a greater opportunity to enhance health and wellbeing for everyone.

“…Community involvement in the selection or development of the study design, methods, or approach took many forms, including development and selection of data collection methods, interventions, and evaluation plans. Community members also provided guidance on narrower aspects of study design, such as participant compensation and eligibility criteria [51], recruitment strategies [14], and identification of vulnerable populations [47].…”

A scoping review was conducted to assess the state of the literature on health-related participatory research involving American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Online databases were searched for relevant articles published between 1/1/2000 and 5/31/2017. 10,000+ data points relevant to community-level engagement in and regulation of research, community research capacity and cultural adaptation were extracted from 178 articles. Community engagement varied across study components: 136 (76%) articles reported community participation in research-related meetings and other events and 49 (27%) articles reported community involvement in initiation of research. 156 (88%) articles reported use of community-level tools to guide or regulate research. 93 (52%) articles reported that community members received research-related training. 147 (82%) articles described some type of cultural adaptation. Across all articles, data points on community engagement were not reported in 3061 (40%) out of 7740 cases. Findings suggest a need for increased community engagement in early stages of the research process and for reporting guidelines for participatory research involving American Indian and Alaska Native communities. There is also need to further existing research on the impact of different components of participatory research on process and outcome measures and to develop funding mechanisms that account for the time and resource intensive nature of participatory research.

“…Therefore, this study is limited in its ability to ascertain which cognitive processes/tests are more or less impacted by the interplay of these biopsychosociocultural factors and vulnerable to Type 1 error across models. Given the overall poor quality and quantity of AI/AN neuropsychological research (de Souza-Talarico et al, 2016;Warren et al, 2015;Verney et al, 2016), it remains unclear if the cognitive tests used in this study have equivalent factor loading and domains of functioning as previously documented among NHW populations. Multigroup invariance analyses are warranted.…”

Objective: This study describes trajectories of cognitive aging among American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) adults with and without HIV and the role of immunosenescence longitudinally. Method: We characterized trajectories of cognitive aging in a sample of 333 AI/AN and 309 non-Hispanic White (NHW) adults who were followed longitudinally for up to 20 years by the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program (HNRP) across six U.S. research sites. We used growth curve modeling with autoregressive Lag-1 structures and heterogeneous residual variances to assess the role of ethnoracial identity and HIV grouping upon decline in trajectories of cognitive aging. Results: HIV− AI/AN adults demonstrated earlier and steeper decline in normative trajectories of cognitive aging on tasks of processing speed, timed tasks of attention/ working memory, executive function, and psychomotor speed in comparison to HIV− NHW adults. Accentuated trajectories of cognitive aging were evident in both HIV+ and HIV+ immunosuppressed groups in comparison to HIV− peers and were primarily driven by the role of immunosenescence. Conclusions: AI/AN disparities in trajectories of cognitive aging are evident and are likely explained by the interplay of biopsychosociocultural factors, including immunosenescence. Key PointsQuestion: Do American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) adults differ in normative trajectories of cognitive aging and does immunosenescence play a role in these differences? Findings: AI/AN adults and those with weaker immune systems demonstrated earlier and steeper decline in trajectories of cognitive aging. Importance: AI/AN adults likely have unique biopsychosociocultural processes that contribute to accentuated cognitive aging. Next Steps: A comprehensive and highly dimensional approach is needed to parse out the diverse effects of biopsychosociocultural factors upon cognitive aging.
