“…A number of factors have been identified that increase the risk of abuse and neglect in AI/AN at every stage of life. Child abuse and VAW have several common risk factors including non-married partnership, female gender of the victim, and substance abuse by the perpetrator (DeBruyn et al 1992 ; Horejsi et al 1992 ; Nelson et al 1996 ; Piasecki et al 1989 ; Robin et al 1997 ; White and Cornely 1981 ; Malcoe et al 2004 ; Yuan et al 2006 ; Robin et al 1998 ). While the exact mechanism between alcohol/substance use and perpetration of child neglect/abuse/VAW is unclear, several hypotheses have been suggested (Walsh et al 2003 ; Kunitz et al 1998 ).…”

“…Researchers have also proposed societal factors that may increase the prevalence of these risk factors, especially with respect to substance abuse (DeBruyn et al 2001 ). Important sociocultural contexts that might affect this include high rates of unemployment and poverty, governmental oppression, racism, under-education, erosion of cultural and traditional lifestyles, and widening chasms between generations (BigFoot and Schmidt 2010 ; Cross et al 2000 ; DeBruyn et al 2001 ; DeBruyn et al 1992 ; Fischler 1985 ; Fox 2003 ; Nelson et al 1996 ). Lack of resources, including low income and unemployment, are also common risk factors for perpetration of child and elder abuse and VAW across populations (Maxwell and Maxwell 1992 ; Malcoe et al 2004 ).…”

“…Brave Heart ( 2003 ) posits that many AI/AN turned to alcohol and other substances as a coping mechanism. Increased substance use may thus serve as a link between historical trauma and violence (Arbuckle et al 1996 ; Berlin 1987 ; DeBruyn et al 1992 ; Horejsi et al 1992 ; King 1999 ; Luna-Firebaugh 2006 ; Nelson et al 1996 ; Piasecki et al 1989 ; Robin et al 1998 ).…”

Family and partner interpersonal violence among American Indians/Alaska Natives

Family and partner interpersonal violence are common among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. AI/AN women have the second highest prevalence of violence against women among all racial/ethnic groups in the United States, and child abuse prevalence rates in AI/AN populations are among the highest. Elder abuse in AI/AN is also an important concern, although data on this are sparse. This review describes the epidemiology of child abuse, violence against women, and elder abuse among AI/AN, including prevalence and associated risk factors. The authors discuss potential reasons for the high burden of interpersonal violence among AI/AN, including common risk factors. Important limitations in existing literature are also highlighted, along with recommendations for future research on this topic.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/2197-1714-1-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

This study examined systemic and individual factors that contribute to the disproportionality of Native Hawaiian families in the child welfare system using data from the 2004-2005 Hawaii State Child Welfare Services (N = 1267). Native Hawaiians were found to be more likely to reenter the system and less likely to be re-united with their families even when the type of abuse was less serious. This distinction was identifiable in interaction terms in multivariate analysis. The paper concludes that the child welfare system in Hawaii needs to continue to explore methods to reduce these disparities.

“…The traditional place of culture in the child welfare literature is in three areas: (i) over‐representation of ethnic or racial minorities in the child welfare system; (ii) cultural competence of workers or agencies; and (iii) concerns about types of service delivery given the client’s ethnicity (cf. Fischler 1985; Cross 1986; Harris 1990; Everett et al 1991; Courtney et al 1996; Nelson et al 1996; Pierce & Pierce 1996).…”

Parenting efficacy, aggressive parenting and cultural connections

This paper describes an exploratory study examining parenting efficacy, behaviours related to child–parent conflict and cultural connection. Fifty‐four low‐income mothers from diverse cultural backgrounds responded to a questionnaire that included the Parental Locus of Control Scale, the Conflict Tactic Scale, and a composite scale measuring the degree that mothers were connected to their self‐identified culture. Non‐parametric statistical measures were used to analyse study data. Results indicate differences between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culturally connected mothers on parenting measures. Mothers with ‘high’ cultural connection were less aggressive parents and felt more responsible for their child’s behaviour.
