根据少数民族健康办公室的数据,估计有490万生活在美国的人认为自己是美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民(AIAN),无论是单独还是与一个或多个种族/族裔结合在一起。非洲裔是一个存在严重健康差距的种族/族裔群体,在过去几十年里,他们的健康状况几乎没有改善。本研究旨在探讨美国中部平原地区美洲印第安人使用互联网作为健康信息来源的情况。从2008年5月至2009年12月,通过专题小组、招聘会和会议以及其他社会和文化活动在该地区招募了998名土著人,并要求他们完成一项自我管理的调查。尽管与来自一般人群的数据相比,我们样本中的AIAN似乎是更多的互联网用户,但他们对现代无线设备的使用是有限的,与美国成年人口相比,他们使用互联网获取健康信息的频率较低。生活在中原地区的土著居民在一般和与健康有关的互联网使用方面存在代际差异。文化上适当的健康信息网站的可用性不足,可能会促使AIAN转向搜索引擎和一般信息网站。
According to the Office of Minority Health, an estimated 4.9 million people living in the United States consider themselves American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), either alone or in combination with one or more races/ethnicities. AIAN are a racial/ethnic group experiencing serious health disparities, with very little if any improvement in health outcomes over the last several decades. This study was designed to explore use of the Internet as a health information source among American Indians in the Central Plains region of the United States. Nine hundred and ninety eight Natives in the region were recruited from May 2008 to December 2009 at pow wows, health fairs, through focus groups, career fairs and conferences, and other social and cultural events, and asked to complete a self-administered survey. Although compared with data from the general population, AIAN from our sample may seem heavier Internet users, their use of modern wireless devices is limited, and their usage of Internet to access health information is lower compared to the adult US population. Natives living in the Central Plains region face generational differences in both general and health-related use of the Internet. Inadequate availability of culturally appropriate health information websites may drive AIAN towards search engines and general information websites.
