To explore substance use and mental health concerns among a community-based sample of 447 urban two-spirit American Indian/Alaska Native adults who had attended boarding school as children and/or who were raised by someone who attended boarding school.
METHOD:
Eighty-two respondents who had attended Indian boarding school as children were compared to respondents with no history of boarding school with respect to mental health and substance use.
RESULTS:
Former boarding school attendees reported higher rates of current illicit drug use and living with alcohol use disorder, and were significantly more likely to have attempted suicide and experienced suicidal thoughts in their lifetime compared to non-attendees. About 39% of the sample had been raised by someone who attended boarding school. People raised by boarding school attendees were significantly more likely to have a general anxiety disorder, experience posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, and have suicidal thoughts in their lifetime compared to others.},

METHODS: AI/AN MSM (N = 173) from a national cross-sectional survey were analyzed. RESULTS: Reporting more frequent sexual risk cognitions overall (high sexual risk cognitions) was associated with multiple HIV risk factors including unprotected anal intercourse and serodiscordant unprotected anal intercourse. Participants with high sexual risk cognitions had a 2.3 (95% Confidence Interval: 1.1, 4.7) times greater odds of engaging in unprotected anal intercourse regardless of childhood sexual abuse, depression, and alcohol dependence. Most individual sexual risk cognitions were associated with unprotected anal intercourse, serodiscordant unprotected anal intercourse, or both. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that sexual risk cognitions may be a productive area for further work on HIV prevention among AI/AN MSM.},

Many tribal and urban American Indians and Alaska Native communities have initiated HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment services. The richness, depth, and scope of these efforts, however, are not well known and have not been sufficiently documented in the academic literature. In this article we assess the strengths and weakness of the published literature using the constructs of the socioecological framework. We discuss the need to apply an "indigenist" etiology paradigm to HIV/AIDS risk and protection. Finally, we define and discuss the varied postcolonial approaches to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and healing.

abstract = {A survey of 68 American Indian women (aged 18–75 yrs) in New York City—aimed to inform community based HIV prevention approaches—revealed that respondents indicated generally high levels of HIV knowledge and self-efficacy for safer behavior and low levels of perceived risk. Few had ever injected drugs, and 54% had been tested for HIV. However, 38% had used alcohol or other drugs in the last 6 months, and among the 59% who reported sexual activity in this period, 80% had had unprotected sex. Alarmingly, 44% reported lifetime trauma, including domestic violence (25%) and physical (27%) or sexual (27%) assault by a family member or stranger. Consistent with a postcolonial theoretical framework, trauma was a better predictor of HIV risk behavior than social cognitive variables. Moreover, preliminary logistic regression analyses indicated the use of alcohol or other drugs may mediate the relationship between nonpartner sexual assault and sexual risk behaviors. Implications for future research and culturally relevant community-based interventions are considered. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved)},
