“…The traditional Sami way of living, with a major engagement in the primary industries, has changed over the last decades, the Sami society is modernized and mechanization has most likely entailed less occupational physical activity. From 1980 to 2000, the prevalence of Samis working in primary industry decreased from 20% to 12% [35]. Thus, one would expect that the total physical activity level among Samis gradually would approach the level of the non-Samis.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the associations between changes in leisure time physical activity and changes in cardiovascular risk factors over 16 years and whether they differ between two ethnic groups in Norway.Methods: Data were extracted from two population-based studies. Altogether, 3671 men and women participated in both surveys, and 30% reported being of Sami ethnicity. Leisure time physical activity was self-reported, and cardiovascular risk factors were measured. ANCOVA analysis was used to examine associations between changes in physical activity and changes in cardiovascular risk factors.Results: After adjustment for age, sex, smoking, ethnicity and respective baseline values, favourable changes in body mass index (BMI) and levels of triglycerides were most pronounced in those who were active in both surveys (p < 0.05) whereas the opposite was the situation for cholesterol levels (p = 0.003). Changes in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and resting heart rate were not significantly associated with change in physical activity. Ethnicity did not influence the associations between physical activity and cardiovascular risk factors.Conclusion: Traditional cardiovascular risk factors were to a small extent associated with change in leisure time physical activity. Persistent physical activity was associated with beneficial changes in BMI and triglycerides.

“…The dropout rate is higher in northern Norway than in other OECD countries and the rest of Norway [ 21–23 ]. For the youth from remote areas of northern Norway, dropout rates connected to the vocational track are higher than among those in the general track [ 24 ]. International research has demonstrated higher dropout rates among Indigenous youths than majority populations [ 25–30 ].…”

“…Schwab [ 32 ] also indicates that a significantly higher proportion of Indigenous students in Australia’s largest cities drop out of upper secondary school compared to their non-Indigenous peers. In addition, a study by Bania, Eckhoff, and Kvernmo [ 33 ] indicated significantly lower participation of Sami men in education, employment, and training compared to non-Sami men; however, the rate of participation was higher among Sami women compared to non-Sami women [ 21 , 24 , 34 ].…”

The upper secondary school dropout rate is a challenge in many western countries, and measures have been taken to prevent dropout. The dropout rate in Norway is stable but is the highest among the northernmost counties. The aim of this study is to explore the strategies employed by upper secondary school teachers and their collaborators to prevent dropout from upper secondary school among Sami youth in northern Norway. This study is based on three focus group interviews with teachers, advisers, nurses, and counsellors in the Sami areas of northern Norway. The thematic analysis identified two main strategies, namely tracking the student and giving the student time. A transparent environments, cultural competence, and interdisciplinary collaboration were identified as prerequisites for successfully implementing the two strategies to prevent dropout from upper secondary school.
