“…39,[59][60][61][62][63] Furthermore, substance use, social pressures, depression, anxiety, ambivalence towards protected sexual intercourse, and experiences of historical trauma influence behaviours that increase STI risk. 52,61,[64][65][66][67][68][69][70] Examples include Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ people being alienated from their tribal ceremonial and social communities due to transphobia and homophobia that leads to stigma, 71 intense social pressure for early sex among AI/AN youth that is often associated with substance misuse, 39 and intimate partner violence influencing personlevel disempowerment and inability to seek reproductive and STI services. 72…”

Creating a path forward: understanding the context of sexual health and sexually transmitted infections in American Indian/Alaska Native populations – a review

This review assessed sexual health and sexually transmitted infection (STI) burden among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) peoples within the context of current clinical and public health services. We conducted a review of published literature about sexual health and bacterial STIs among AI/AN populations in the United States using Medline (OVID), CINAHL (EbscoHost) and Scopus. Peer-reviewed journals published during 1 January 2005-2 December 2021 were included and supplemented by other publicly available literature. A total of 138 articles from reference lists met inclusion criteria, including 85 peer-review articles and 53 additional references. Results indicate a disproportionate burden of STIs is carried by AI/AN populations compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Risk for STIs in AI/AN people has origins in historical trauma and structural and social determinants of health. STI services are available for AI/AN populations, but many barriers to care exist. Community-based sexual health programming has been successful, but has thus far focused primarily on adolescents and young adults. A myriad of factors contributes to high rates of STIs among AI/AN populations. Longstanding disparities show a clear need to increase the availability of integrated, low-barrier STI prevention and treatment services. Implementation of multi-level (individual, physician, clinic, healthcare organisation, and/or community level), culturally relevant sexual health and STI interventions should be community-based and person-centred, acknowledge social determinants of health, and grounded in deep respect and understanding of AI/AN histories and cultures.

“…Internalized stereotypes and the culturally held view of the "strong black woman" may factor into why black woman are more reluctant to seek help and may also prevent others from recognizing their needs [51, 56•, 57]. In terms of barriers for Native Americans, Giacci and colleagues [58] interviewed 56 women from tribal reservations who described little education about relationship health and challenges with privacy and obtaining confidential treatment, noting "…the experience of indifference by formal help seeking sources…feeling unsafe, not taken seriously, or even ridiculed" (p. 17).…”

Purpose of review Individuals experiencing mental health difficulties are at heightened risk for experiencing past and recent intimate partner violence (IPV), including sexual, psychological, and physical violence and/or stalking, from an intimate partner. Yet, mental health clinicians often report limited knowledge about IPV, especially best clinical practices for identifying and addressing IPV experiences in routine mental health care. Recent findings This paper reviews literature on IPV experiences, including prevalence, linkages with mental health problems, considerations for vulnerable populations, and evidence-based practices for screening, assessment, and intervention for IPV in the context of mental health care. These practices are rooted in trauma-informed and person-centered care principles and emphasize safety and empowerment. Summary We conclude by commenting on common clinician challenges and considerations for case conceptualization for individuals experiencing IPV.

“…refus systématique de procéder à une demande répétée de contraception irréversible telle la ligature des trompes, stérilisation forcée des femmes autochtones). [7] Les facteurs de risque liés à la CR sont nombreux : avoir un jeune âge [8,9], appartenir à un groupe racisé ou ethnoculturel [4,[9][10][11][12], s'identi er comme étant de la diversité sexuelle et pluralité des genres [13], avoir des partenaires sexuels nombreux [13], être sans emploi [14] ou étudiante [8] et être en situation de handicap. [14] La VPI est également un facteur de risque central à la CR.…”

“…Les prochaines études qui auraient pour objectif d'étudier la reconnaissance de la CR devraient aussi tenter de rencontrer des femmes à risque d'avoir vécu de la CR, mais qui ne reconnaissent pas encore avoir vécu de telles expériences. De surcroit, considérant que des recherches étatsuniennes démontrent que la CR touche de manière disproportionnée les femmes associées à la diversité sexuelle et la pluralité des genres [13] ainsi que les femmes latinas, noires et autochtones [9,12], il serait décidément intéressant de cerner les particularités propres à leur processus de reconnaissance. Dans notre petit échantillon de 13 femmes, seulement une femme s'était désignée comme native américaine et trois femmes ont déclaré des identités liées à la diversité sexuelle et la pluralité des genres.…”

La paradoxalité de la reconnaissance de l’expérience de coercition reproductive : une analyse qualitative

La coercition reproductive fait référence aux comportements de contrôle et de force infligés afin d'orienter la trajectoire reproductive des femmes. Les conséquences inhérentes sont multiples : grossesses inopportunes, recours accentué aux contraceptifs d’urgence et avortements, dépression.... Malgré ces effets importants, les femmes qui en sont victimes éprouvent souvent de la difficulté à reconnaitre leur expérience comme telle, ce qui contribue à limiter leur recherche de soutien. À travers la théorie du parcours de vie, cette analyse qualitative réalisée auprès de 13 femmes ayant vécu de la coercition reproductive présente comment la reconnaissance d'une telle expérience se déploie à l'intersection de diverses trajectoires de vie. Nos résultats suggèrent que le processus de reconnaissance est intrinsèquement paradoxal, et revêt un caractère à la fois subjectif, intersubjectif, sociohistorique et évolutif. Contrastant nos résultats avec la reconnaissance honnéthienne, des pistes critiques sont formulées en ce qui concerne notamment le déficit de ressources herméneutiques.
