“…Our analysis revealed that cigarette use may be less prevalent among military parents than in previous reports, potentially due to the implementation of military smoke-free policies 8,9 and other local-related factors, such as locally influenced differences. 17 Furthermore, our findings align with existing literature in that older age 18 -20 may be associated with increased risk for cigarette use.…”

We tested the null hypothesis of equal likelihood of cigarette use among parents with a military connection and parents without a military connection, and independently compared risk factors for cigarette use. We obtained National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data from 2015 to 2019 survey waves. We delimited analysis to 2-parent households who reported children aged <18 years living with them. After a 2:1 nonparametric age matching procedure, our sample included 1106 civilian parents and 553 parents with a military connection. Using the NHIS survey-design weights, we estimated a design-based F statistic for differences in cigarette use by military connection status. We also estimated population-stratified, survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression models to determine risk factors for parent cigarette use. Whereas 6.87% parents with a military connection used cigarettes, 16.64% of age-matched civilian parents reported cigarette use. This difference was significant even after adjustment for covariates (aOR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.32, 0.74). Recommendations for programing and policy are provided.

“…Seventeen (23.6%) studies examined suicide through a researcher-defined question such as, "Have you ever attempted suicide?" (Albright et al, 2020; see also Harman, 2017;Ivanich & Teasdale, 2018;Turanovic & Pratt, 2017). Eleven (15.3%) studies assessed suicide attempts or death through examination of medical records or mortality reports.…”

“…LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit Samples Only two (2.8%) studies explicitly assessed for the gender identity of the participants (Albright et al, 2020;Evans-Campbell et al, 2012). Evans-Campbell and colleagues sampled for AIAN and First Nations two-spirit participants (i.e., a term used to describe Indigenous peoples who mix, cross, or combine sex-or gender-based qualities or roles; Roscoe, 2019), including those who This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”

“…This may not align with AIAN ways of being, as AIAN Tribal groups have been known to accommodate more than three genders and normalize fluidity and individual variance in terms of sexual orientation and gender (Roscoe, 2019). In the second study, Albright et al (2020) assessed the gender identity of AIAN participants by including three gender options: Male, female, and transgender. However, they did not report any results on suicide and gender identity due to the low number of participants who identified as transgender in their sample.…”

Objectives: American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIANs) experience significant disparities in their prevalence of suicidal ideation, attempts, and deaths when compared to all other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. In this systematic review (SR), we aim to examine the methodologies employed in AIAN suicide research during the past decade to highlight successful methodological practices and provide suggestions for improving future research. Method: The authors followed guidance by Siddaway et al. (2019) for conducting SRs. The databases PsycINFO, Ovid Medline, The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Education Resources Information Center, Bibliography of Native North Americans, Sociological Abstracts, and Academic Search Premier were searched for scientific articles published between 2010 and June 5, 2020 that specifically focused on AIAN suicide. The search yielded 937 citations; 240 full-text articles were screened for inclusion, and 72 articles were included in this review. Results: Findings revealed significant heterogeneity among methodologies employed in the corpus, making it difficult to draw robust conclusions about AIAN suicide. Notably, research partnerships that were initiated by an AIAN Tribal Nation in collaboration with a research team yielded meaningful contributions and positive outcomes as compared to traditional community-based participatory research approaches. Finally, several critical gaps in the literature emerged including a lack of data on sexual and gender minority AIANs, urban, and multiracial AIANs. Conclusions: Based on these findings, we propose the following recommendations: (a) standardize the assessment of suicide; (b) increase partnerships between Tribal Nations and researchers; and (c) pursue research centering specific high-risk populations (e.g., urban, sexual and gender minority, and multiracial AIANs).

“…The predictors of mental health service utilization in this population included financial stress, lack of deployment during service, suicidal ideation, and a diagnosis of depression. Moreover, the authors affirm that there are gaps in service provision (Albright et al, 2020). Review study emphasizes suicide and substance use as common mental health problems in PI (Nelson and Wilson, 2017).…”
