Short Abstract:

The study explores how many Native people demonstrate resilience when faced with health risks, despite being disproportionately affected by factors that lead to health disparities. Study objectives were to use a resilience framework to identify wellness strategies among American Indian people and to assess health care provider perceptions of American Indian wellness. Participants included 39 American Indian adults who self-reported resilient change and 22 health care providers who served American Indian patients. Results indicated the salience of relationships in demonstrating resilience. Identified challenges and supporters of resilience are discussed.
