Abstract: This is the second of a four-part summary about vaccine equity for American Indian and Alaska Native people, highlighting manuscripts and data published between June and August 2023. Throughout COVID-19 pandemic, the general population has paid higher attention to issues of health equity and vaccine equity. In addition to a concern that public health authorities and healthcare providers respond adequately to the seriousness of the pandemic, there was increased attention to existing perennial gaps in healthcare disparities and equity. The Native American community has been one such population; having long suffered from increased disease burden, stretched resources, and low trust in institutions that have historically failed them.

Abstract: What is already known about this topic? Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with numerous negative outcomes. Previous data from 25 states indicated that ACEs are common among U.S. adults. What is added by this report? Among U.S. adults from all 50 states and the District of Columbia surveyed during 2011–2020, approximately two thirds reported at least one ACE; one in six reported four or more ACEs. ACEs were highest among women, persons aged 25–34 years, non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native adults, non-Hispanic multiracial adults, adults with less than a high school education, and adults who were unemployed or unable to work. Prevalence of individual and total number of ACEs varied across jurisdictions. What are the implications for public health practice? CDC’s Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences: Leveraging the Best Available Evidence provides strategies for preventing and mitigating ACEs, particularly among disproportionately affected populations.

Keywords: Awareness; Data Collection; Development; Minority Groups; Race; Violence; Women's Health

Short Abstract: Research has proven that AI/AN women in the U.S. experience higher rates of violence than most other women. Due to this, tribal and federal officials have stated that this incidence of violence constitutes a crisis. Due to lack of an adequate response/data, GAO was asked to review the federal response to the missing or murdered AI/AN women crisis. This report examines the not only the numbers of missing and murdered AI/AN women, but also the DOD and DOJ's response thus far.
