“…This study adds to the relatively small body of literature examining the risk factors associated with AI/AN child removal and is unique for its focus on examining those variables in alcohol use disorder treatment (Carter, 2009a, 2009b, 2010, 2011; Grinnell Davis et al, 2022; Lujan et al, 1989). Addressing these risk factors requires efforts on multiple levels.…”

“…American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults are less likely than Non-Hispanic Whites to use alcohol in their lifetime, equally as likely to have had five or more drinks on one occasion in the past month, and more likely to have a diagnosis related to alcohol dependence (Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2018; Cunningham et al, 2016; Grant et al, 2015). AI/AN communities experience high rates of alcohol-related negative consequences and child out-of-home placements compared to Non-Hispanic White communities (Baldwin et al, 2000; Barlow et al, 2012; Carter, 2011; Delker et al, 2016; Grinnell Davis et al, 2022).…”

This study was a secondary data analysis of factors associated with alcohol-related child removal among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults enrolled in a clinical trial of an alcohol intervention. Among 326 parent participants, 40% reported ever having a child removed from their care in part because of the parent’s alcohol use, defined here as alcohol-related child removal. Seventy-five percent of parents reported at least one separation during their own childhood (M = 1.3, SD = 1.0). In a multivariable analysis, alcohol-related child removal was associated with parental boarding school attendance. No relationship was found between alcohol-related child removal and alcohol intervention outcomes. Results may provide evidence of multigenerational child removal impacts of boarding schools on AI/AN adults receiving an alcohol use disorder intervention. Assessment of parental history of child removal by practitioners, strategies to prevent alcohol-related separation and to support reunification should be integrated into addiction treatment in AI/AN communities.

“…A few months later, in a significant challenge to tribal sovereignty, SCOTUS heard arguments for Haaland v. Brackeen [2021] to determine if the ICWA was constitutional (Thompson, 2020). These moves run the risk widening inequities in out-of-home placement of Indigenous youth (Lawler et al, 2012;Grinnell Davis et al, 2022), which has been shown to sever cultural and community ties (Weaver & White, 1999).…”

Indigenous communities consistently call for strengths-based, assets-driven approaches to promoting health equity. This includes efforts to expand well-being and resilience frameworks to reflect cultural understandings and perspectives. This study describes community-based participatory research (CBPR) involving focus groups with four diverse groups of Indigenous community members in a single reservation community in the United States. Data were analyzed using inductive and deductive multi-coder processes. Our collaborative efforts led to innovations in planned methods and focal areas of study, including a reframing of “resilience” as one that brings hearts and community together. This approach also yielded a unique, intensive qualitative coding structure that represents a substantive effort to democratize and Indigenize research methods. Community members who participated in focus groups identified Indigenous cultural practices, beliefs, and community as critical components to well-being.

“…al., 2012). Evidence of ICWA compliance includes AIAN children having high rates of kinship placement, family reunification, transfer out of the public child welfare system, higher likelihoods of trial home visits, and lower likelihoods of pre-adoptive placement (Crofoot & Harris, 2012;Grinnell Davis et al, 2022;Capacity Building Center for Courts, 2020). In their analysis of 2015 federal child welfare data, Grinnell Davis and colleagues (2022) found mixed evidence of compliance.…”
