“…Historical events in the United States have had impacts that persist in American Indian communities today, including health disparities and psychosocial inequities (Evans-Campbell, 2008;Joo-Castro & Emerson, 2020;Paradies, 2016;Solomon et al, 2022). Examples of relevant psychosocial and/or health challenges that American Indian students may experience include financial insecurity, homelessness or housing shortage, unemployment, chronic illness, mental illness, trauma, adverse childhood experiences, substance use, marginalization, feelings of disconnection and invisibility, low self-esteem, stress, feelings of guilt for being away from family or cultural duties, little or no social support, and racism and discrimination (Adynski et al, 2023;Baez & Allison-Baez, 2023;Larsson & Johnson, 2022). These challenges become risk factors that may disrupt student success and are often shared familial and intergenerational experiences.…”

Being the least-represented ethnic/racial group in college settings, American Indian students may experience loneliness and self-doubt related to the challenges of adapting to an environment that embodies values, norms, and culture so different from those represented in their traditional culture. Ongoing health disparities and psychosocial inequities, and persisting impacts of historical colonization, have led to additional hardships for these students that further complicate their academic experiences. Fostering culturally safe learning environments where compassionate and caring faculty provide culturally aligned teaching is important in addressing these complex disparities. Derived from American Indian values and teachings, we present a culturally safe intergenerational mentoring approach that emphasizes the nursing mentors’ responsibility to support the growth and success of American Indian nursing students. This approach, drawn from the wisdom of American Indian teachings, focuses on students’ strengths and culturally based protective factors. Culturally informed faculty who are aware of the historical impacts of colonization and who have adequate mentoring capacity (time, interest, and commitment) contribute to safe and effective learning environments. Culturally safe mentoring is one approach to promoting American Indian students’ potential for academic and professional success.

Background As a driver of racial and health inequities, racism is deeply ingrained in the interconnected systems that affect health and well-being. Currently, no common frame is employed across researchers, interventionists, and funders to design, implement, and evaluate comprehensive interventions to address racism. Consequently, there is a need to examine the characteristics of interventions implemented in the United States that address racism across social and structural determinants of health and socio-ecological levels. Additionally, we utilized a Health Equity Action Research (HEART) framework to assess how interventions integrate equity principles. Methods This scoping review examined the characteristics of multi-level interventions that addressed racism and appraised the interventions using a Health Equity Action Research frame. A comprehensive search strategy was conducted across nine electronic databases between 24 October 2022 through 15 November 2022. Records were included if they were available in English, discussed or evaluated a multi-level intervention or program conducted in the United States, and discussed or evaluated the intervention or program regarding the health and well-being of racialized and ethnically minoritized groups. Results A total of 13,391 records were identified, of which 91 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the analysis. Most records reported the racialized group impacted by an intervention, of which the majority were racialized as African American or Black ( n = 42) and Hispanic or Latino/a/x ( n = 18). Eighty-one (89%) of interventions reported health outcomes and concentrated on the individual level. Most funders reported across the records, and 86 (51%) were a federal agency or department. A further 43 (25%) were private foundations, 12 (7%) were nonprofit organizations, 10 (6%) were private universities, and 4 (2%) were public universities. Regarding alignment with the HEART framework, 14% of interventions reported a mixed-methods approach, 45% reported community engagement, and less than 1% reported researcher self-reflection. Conclusions Most interventions prioritized people who are racialized as Black and report health outcomes. Since intervention designs, objectives, and methodological approaches vary, no standard frame defines racism and health equity. Applying the HEART framework offers a standard approach for interventionists and researchers to examine power, integrate community voice, and self-reflect to advance health equity.
