Using the Healthy Native Youth Implementation Toolbox to Provide Web-Based Adolescent Health Promotion Decision Support to American Indian and Alaska Native Communities: Implementation Study

Using the Healthy Native Youth Implementation Toolbox to Provide Web-Based Adolescent Health Promotion Decision Support to American Indian and Alaska Native Communities: Implementation Study

In the United States, as of 2022, the federal government recognizes 574 distinct American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes across 37 states [1]. Together, the combined AI/AN population comprises 9.7 million people, representing 2.9% of the US population in 2020 [1]. The AI/AN population is young, with 30% being up to 18 years old, compared with 24% of the US total population [2], making adolescent health an important topic in native communities.

Lessons Learned From Beta-Testing a Facebook Group Prototype to Promote Treatment Use in the “Connecting Alaska Native People to Quit Smoking” (CAN Quit) Study

Lessons Learned From Beta-Testing a Facebook Group Prototype to Promote Treatment Use in the “Connecting Alaska Native People to Quit Smoking” (CAN Quit) Study

This could be especially true for Alaska Native people, who have the highest smoking prevalence in any US racial or ethnic subgroup [1]. Furthermore, Alaska Native residents of Alaska have a smoking prevalence more than double than that of Alaskan White residents (42% vs 17%), [2,3] but are difficult to reach with traditional face-to-face interventions because of their remote geography [4].

Social Media Intervention to Promote Smoking Treatment Utilization and Cessation Among Alaska Native People Who Smoke: Protocol for the Connecting Alaska Native People to Quit Smoking (CAN Quit) Pilot Study

At 22%, American Indian (AI)/Alaska Native (AN) persons have the highest US smoking prevalence; and within this group, AN residents of Alaska (AK) have a prevalence of smoking more than double that of Alaskan whites (42% vs 17%) [2]. Accordingly, AN people who smoke experience more tobacco-related diseases and mortality compared with non-Native people living in AK or US whites [3-6]. A national public health objective is to reduce tobacco-caused health disparities [7,8].
