“…Walls, Johnson, Whitbeck, and Hoyt (2006) found that American Indian parents/caregivers strongly prefer traditional cultural services for mental health and substance abuse problems rather than formal behavioral health services and believe that these services are more effective. Increased anxiety, spiritual engagement, and past experiences with discrimination in health care were also associated with a preference for a traditional approach to care (Aronson, Johnson-Jennings, Kading, Smith, & Walls, 2016).…”

Risk andProtective Factors Project found the prevalence of DSM-IV disorders was 35.7% for women to nearly 50% for men (Beals et al., 2005). The most common disorder for women was post-traumatic stress disorder and for men, alcohol abuse and dependence. Significant levels of comorbidity were found among those with depressive and/or anxiety and substance use disorders (Beals et al., 2005).To fully understand the behavioral health disparities experienced by AI/AN, it is critical to examine the context in which they occur. High prevalence of behavioral disorders in AI/AN communities is believed to be linked to a number of historical and environmental factors, such as historical trauma and contemporary discrimination, as well as current-day unemployment, academic failure, high-risk occupations,

“…For example, Tien and colleagues investigated mental health users' preference among 15 male and 15 female Black users in a community mental health centre in Los Angeles: 60% preferred Black professionals; the major reasons for preferences were the perceived professional competence (98%) and attitudes (97%), not just the cultural, ethnic and linguistic compatibility (Tien & Johnson, 1985). The majority (79%) of a sample of 218 American Indians indicated they would prefer a Native provider (Aronson et al, 2017). A study among 26.943 people explored the effect of ethnic matching in minorities serving mental health centre programmes and showed that ethnic matching seems to be linked to fewer emergency service visits, especially in case of concurrent language matching (Snowden et al, 1995).…”

Background: The recovery model in mental health care emphasizes users’ right to be involved in key decisions of their care, including choice of one’s primary mental health professional (PMHP). Aims: The aim of this article was to provide a scoping review of the literature on the topic of users’ choice, request of change and preferences for the PMHP in community mental health services. Method: A search of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and PsycINFO for papers in English was performed. Additional relevant research articles were identified through the authors’ personal bibliography. Results: A total of 2,774 articles were screened and 38 papers were finally included. Four main aspects emerged: (1) the importance, for users, to be involved in the choice of their PMHP; (2) the importance, for users, of the continuity of care in the relationship with their PMHP; (3) factors of the user/PMHP dyad influencing users’ preferences; and (4) the effect of choice on the treatment outcomes. Conclusion: While it is generally agreed that it is important to consider users’ preferences in choosing or requesting to change their PMHP, little research on this topic is available. PMHPs’ and other stakeholders’ views should also be explored in order to discuss ethical and practical issues.

“…The findings highlight the potential for enhancing coping resources to offset caregiver stress by way of family support and connection to family and community. Engaging AI family members in diabetes education and prevention has been shown to be feasible, acceptable, and impactful (Chambers et al, 2018), and coincides with evidence of AI preference for family support (relative to biomedical care) in help seeking (Aronson, Johnson-Jennings, Kading, Smith, & Walls, 2016;Walls, Johnson, Whitbeck, & Hoyt, 2006). Family-and community-involved diabetes treatment programs can be developed and evaluated using community-based participatory research approaches.…”

Caregiving Stress Among American Indians With Type 2 Diabetes: The Importance of Awareness of Connectedness and Family Support

et al. 2018

American Indian (AI) communities experience a disproportionate rate of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cumulative exposure to stress. Though this link is well-researched among various populations, it has not been examined among AI communities. Path analysis was used to examine a multiple-mediator model to explain how caregiver stress influences self-reported mental and physical health among 100 AI participants with T2D. Caregiver stress was negatively associated with physical and mental health. Physical health was positively associated with family/community connectedness and mental health was positively associated with both family support and connectedness. The relationship between caregiver stress and mental health was partially mediated by family/community connectedness; caregiver stress had no indirect effects on physical health via either hypothesized mediator. Findings demonstrate the importance of integrating individuals’ connection to family and community and its influence on caregiver stress and mental health in intervention programs targeting diabetes management and care among AI communities.
