Objectives
• Identify rationale for attempts to empirically assess the role(s) of Indigenous cultural factors for health
• Share stories and lessons learned in one (ongoing) journey of measurement development and implementation– Strategies– Implications and Consequences
• Successes, Faults, Foibles • Describe a model of measurement development
– Practical utility in CBPR/TBPR

What We Won’t Achieve Today• Psychometric evaluation principles• Survey design “best practices”• Exhaustive review of measurement approaches• Definitive answers (i.e., how? Should we even
try?)

More Rationale
• Culture as treatment/medicine/prevention• Indigenous and Decolonizing Approaches• Culture impacts perceptions, behaviors, and
values
![Page 13: Indigenous Culture and Research: Measurement Approaches ... · Indigenous Culture and Research: Measurement Approaches and Consideration of Consequences Melissa Walls 1 & Tina Handeland](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022041005/5eaa6f04964041254e114552/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is Culture?
• Hundreds of definitions across literatures– Cumulative knowledge, experiences, beliefs,
attitudes, understanding, religions, roles, etc. acquired or possessed by a group, often across generations
– A way of life, cultivated behavior, “tradition,” collective norms, customs, etc.
• Special/unique/particular meaning in AIAN groups

American Indian and Alaska Native Culture: Measurement Think Tank Meeting Outcomes
May 26, 2015, Washington, DC
• No single, monolithic construct of “culture” to measure– We can potentially isolate specific dimensions of culture
• Humans are multicultural beings– “Ecological conundrum” intertwines AIAN culture with
historical, political and environmental factors– Contemporary meaning of a measure also depends on
these contexts• Ethical interplay
– Burden and Consequences• Tensions and Opportunities: Generalizability and
Specificity

Culturally Rooted Protective Factors
Enculturation
Knowledge(e.g., Language Fluency)
Identity Practices (Traditional)
(Spiritual)
Enculturation:How engaged or embedded one is in their (Native) culture.

First Nations Voices
• Cultural Identity“I think there’s a loss of their identity. From being Native, we lost a lot of that. . .and once they’re growing up they wonder, “who am I?” They are lost, you know.” (Female Service Provider)
• Traditional Activities“When you go to see an elder the elder will say ‘how many thoughts do you have?’ What that elder is asking is what’s your dream, what’s your vision for life? Because your dream an vision give you purpose. These children don’t have purpose around here.” (Male Elder)
• Language“When you speak the language, you feel it, you understand. . . .We have to go back to our way of life. . . .We have to go back to these 7 teachings about the Creator.” (Male Elder)

Potential Pathways of Resilience
• Direct Protective Effects/Associations• Risk/Stress Buffering or Mediating Effects• Interplay with Other Protective Factors
– Interactive (Modifying/Amplifying) or Mediating Effects

The (Mixed?) State of the Literature
• Null Findings: Identity and Mental Health (Whitesell, et al., 2014; Whitesell, Mitchell, & Spice, 2009; Bates, Beauvais, & Trimble, 1997; Paradies & Cunningham)
• One dimension of identity (centrality) linked to depressive symptoms; another (positive affect) linked to fewer symptoms (Matheson & Anisman, 2011)
• Native American Spirituality Scale (NASS) dual factor structure, only one dimension associated with lower substance use; neither factor related to mental health (Greenfield, et al., 2015)
![Page 28: Indigenous Culture and Research: Measurement Approaches ... · Indigenous Culture and Research: Measurement Approaches and Consideration of Consequences Melissa Walls 1 & Tina Handeland](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022041005/5eaa6f04964041254e114552/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Explaining Mixed Findings: Speculations
• Postcolonial predicament– Historical Assaults + ongoing legacy of colonization– Community Example: Spirituality and Hunting
• Diversity of opinions on what culture is and is not (back to the ecological conundrum)
“The way of the pipe respect.” simultaneously met with: “What I believe is the (our) people came from a thing called Turtle Island,
that’s where our roots are. Christianity came from; I don’t know where it came from, that’s where their roots are. This is why I think when one of our people says they’re Christians, you know it’s like a tree or a plant without roots.” (Male Service Provider)
And“I’m proud, 6 or 7 years after I got my life straight, I became a Christian, and
then that’s when they all come, ‘you’ve gone the wrong way.’ But to me, I found a way. It worked for me. . . . not until the day I became a Christian, I found love.” (Female Service Provider)

• Cultural strengths & culturally unique experiences with adversity: Two sides to explore and operationalize
– Socially determined risk factors (e.g., poverty, discrimination); Historical Trauma

Moving Forward
• Pragmatism: baby steps of science• Mixed-methods and qualitative approaches• Cross-Cultural Measurement Innovation• Interdisciplinary Teams• Is it worth trying?
– recognizing limitations when we do

“I try to put that in perspective and then try understand you know what it was like pre-contact of the European when he landed here in our homeland and when I genetically remember you know, from our ancestors, is that our people were living a very beautiful life. There was an abundance of riches of the land and spirit. Our people were a spiritual people and we are a spiritual people and they will always be a spiritual people.” (Male Elder)
