事故、暴力和某些慢性疾病使美洲印第安人死亡，这与其他种族群体的死亡率极不相称。为了有效地应对这些健康问题，必须了解以前适应性生存机制、历史和文化因素以及美国政策之间的复杂相互作用。传统医学提供了一个概念框架，既有文化基础，又有坚实的科学研究支持。与生活压力源的复杂神经内分泌和行为反应相关的研究为美洲印第安人的有效治疗方案提供了基础。
Accidents, violence, and certain chronic diseases kill American Indians greatly out of proportion to other racial groups. Complex interactions between previously adaptive survival mechanisms, historical and cultural factors, and U.S. policy must be understood to respond effectively to these health issues. The traditional medicine wheel provides a conceptual framework that is culturally grounded and also supported by solid scientific research. Research related to complex neuroendocrine and behavioral responses to the stressors of life provides a basis for effective treatment programs for American Indians.
