Abstract:

Although promising, the available data concerning drinking-related locus of control have been almost entirely limited to treatment samples of white men. The major purpose of this study was to extend our understanding by comparing the drinking-related expectancies of three groups of Native Americans: problem drinkers, nonproblem drinkers and recovered alcoholics. Multivariate analyses were employed to control statistically for important sociodemographic differences between groups and included a test of the possibility that sex moderated the relationship between drinking status and drinking expectancies. As predicted, problem drinkers reported significantly less personal control of alcohol use than either nonproblem drinkers or recovered alcoholics. There were no significant differences between nonproblem drinkers and recovered alcoholics. Native American men were found to hold significantly more external orientations towards drinking than did women. The results were discussed in terms of comparisons with the available literature, and future research needs were identified. The findings provide indirect support for current treatment philosophies that seek to modify patient perceptions of the controllability of drinking behavior in a more internal direction.

Short Abstract:

Objective: To determine geographic variation in urban American Indian & Alaska Native (AI/AN) rates of infant mortality, low birth weight, prenatal care use, and maternal-child health care service availability.

Abstract:

Objective: To determine geographic variation in urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) rates of infant mortality, low birth rate, pre-natal care use, and maternal-child health care service availability.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using data from the 1989 to 1991 birth-death linked database from the National Center for Health Statistics. We examined births from the metropolitan areas with a minimum of 300 AI/AN births during the study period. Key outcomes of interest included rates of low birth weight, neonatal mortality, postneonatal mortality, and women receiving inadequate prenatal care using the modified Kessner index. To determine the type of health services tailored to AI/AN mothers residing in these urban areas, we conducted a telephone survey of the 36 urban Indian health programs operating in 1997 using a semi structured survey. Items in the survey included questions about the availability of prenatal and infant health care.

Results: During the 1989 to 1991 study period, there were 72,730 singleton births to AI/AN mothers and/or fathers residing in urban areas, representing 49% of all AI/AN births in the United States. Overall 14.4% of urban AI/AN births were to women who received inadequate care during pregnancy, 5.7% of pregnancies resulted in low birth weight infants, and 11.0 infants died per 1000 live births. Death rates for the neonatal period (5.5 per 1000 births) and postneonatal period (5.4 per 1000 births) were similar. Marked disparity in these indicators exist between pregnancies to AI/AN and white women. Among the 54 metropolitan areas, 46 had a rate ratio (AI/AN: white) for inadequate care of ?1.5 (range 0.9-8.5). The mean rate ratios for neonatal and postneonatal mortality were 1.6 (range 0.3-4.0) and 2.0 (0.5-5.5). There was also considerable geographic variation of AI/AN mortality rates between metropolitan areas in all of the outcomes studied. All of the 20 metropolitan areas with the highest birth counts had some type of direct medical care or outreach services available from an urban clinic targeted toward AI/AN patients.

Conclusions: Considerable variation also exists among rates of AI/ANs between metropolitan areas. Disparity also exists in rates of perinatal outcomes between AI/AN and whites living in the same metropolitan areas. Although AI/AN urban health programs exist in most cities with large birth counts, it seems that many have inadequate resources to meet existing needs to improve perinatal outcomes and infant health.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: We summarized data from a study of Alaska Native women living in predominantly urban communities to assess the quality of their dietary intakes and compare to current US dietary recommendations.

STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive cross sectional study of seventy-four Alaska Native women living in and around Anchorage, Alaska. Each completed up to four 24-h diet recalls during one year. Participants were enrolled in 1996 and 1997. Blood samples were analyzed for hematocrit, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and folate.

RESULTS: Results were compared with current US dietary guide lines for food groups and nutrients. Mean intake of these women fell below recommendations for all food groups except the Meat and Beans Group. Mean intakes of sweets, sodium and energy from fat and saturated fat exceeded recommendations. Red blood cell folate levels were low in 32% of the women. Only one-quarter of the women reported eating Native foods.

CONCLUSIONS: The survey shows room for improvement in diet to include reduced intakes of saturated fat, and increased intakes of folate, calcium, and dietary fiber by increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and cereals, non-fat milk products, and Native foods.

Short Abstract:

In 2006 the National Council of Urban Indian Health led an initiative to implement changes to the urban diabetes data collection process.  The change was made for the purpose of unifying the data for collective diabetes reporting.  Its main goal was to ensure that all organizations that receive or will receive Special Diabetes Program for Indians funding will submit their diabetes audit to not only the Indian Health Service but also to the Urban Indian Health Institute.  The decision was made to better ensure excellence in reporting and to establish a standardized set of diabetes data, and the data derived from these outcomes would be used to further enhance the diabetes program and allow the Urban Indian Health Organizations to be better educated on the technical aspects of diabetes management, including:
