7 AI/AN HEALTH DISPARITIES
Alcoholism 6X Tuberculosis 6X Diabetes 3.5X Accidents 3X Suicide 1.7 to 4x 60% Over 65 live in poverty (US 27%) Jan-19R. Dale Walker, M.D., 2003

8 American Indians Have same disorders as general population
Greater prevalence Greater severity Much less access to Tx Cultural relevance more challenging Social context disintegrated

9 Lifetime History Mental Disorder 22.5% Comorbidity 29% 3.1% 1.5% 1.7%
3.1% % 1.7% 1.1% Alcohol Disorder 13.5% Comorbidity 45% Drug Disorder 6.1% Comorbidity 72% Regier, 1990

10 Multiple Diagnoses Increases:
treatment seeking use of services poor outcome suicide risk likelihood of no services treatment costs

11 Difficulties of Program Integration
Separate funding streams and coverage gaps Agency turf issues Different treatment philosophies Different training philosophies Lack of resources Poor cross training Consumer and family barriers Jan-19R. Dale Walker, M.D., 2003

12 How is it working? Different goals Resource silos One size fits all
Activity-driven KIM How is it working? (Carl Bell and Dale Walker, 7/03)

13 Culturally specific Outcome driven Best Practice Integrating resources Requires cooperation and coordination Much higher level of working together required Communities will not see benefits until we are at this point Have begun the process, but we still have some distance to go We need Collaboration, Integration, and Synergy : Community Mobilization (Carl Bell and Dale Walker, 7/03)

14 Indigenous Knowledge (IK)
Definitions: Indigenous Knowledge (IK) Is local knowledge unique to a given culture or society; it has its own theory, philosophy, scientific and logical validity, which is used as a basis for decision-making for all of life’s needs.

15 Traditional Medicine Definitions:
The sum total of health knowledge, skills and practices based upon theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures…used in the maintenance of health. WHO 2002

16 Evidence-Based Practices (EB)
Definitions: Evidence-Based Practices (EB) Interventions that show consistent scientific evidence of improving a person’s outcome of treatment and/or prevention in controlled settings. SAMHSA 2003

17 Best Practices Definitions:
Examples and cases that illustrate the use of community knowledge and science in developing cost effective and sustainable survival strategies to overcome a chronic illness. WHO 2002

21 Spectrum of Intervention Responses
Thresholds for Action No Problems Mild Problems Moderate Problems Severe Problems Treatment TRAINER: Explain that it is possible to match individual students to treatment approaches in ways that increase the probability of treatment effectiveness and efficiency and that BASICS as a brief intervention is also appropriately described as “indicated” prevention Speaking Points: “Treatment matching” is based on the notion that a spectrum of alcohol consumption and related problems exists, that no single treatment approach is effective in treating all persons with alcohol problems, and that different programs may be optimal for different types of people. Indicated interventions are those that focus on individual students who already drink heavily and have experienced, or are at risk of experiencing, alcohol-related problems at the “Threshold for Action” on the graphic. Brief interventions are one type of indicated intervention. Brief Intervention Universal/Selective Prevention

22 Prevention Primary Risk factors Protective factors Prevent 1st use
Secondary Prevent kids who use from continuing Prevent kids who misuse from experiencing use related problems or dependency
