美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加土著人在许多传染病和慢性病方面与一般人口相比存在很大的健康差距。向服务不足的群体提供准确和符合文化特点的卫生信息已被证明可以影响健康行为和健康结果。此前很少有研究探索美洲印第安人健康信息的使用和偏好。诸如健康信息全国趋势调查等具有全国代表性的抽样调查提供了一些关于少数群体的数据，但无法提供关于美洲印第安人的有用信息。本研究分析了对美国中西部900多名美洲印第安人的调查数据，并探讨了他们的健康信息来源、他们对信息呈现的偏好以及他们在就医之前和就医期间对健康信息的使用情况。我们的结论是，针对原住民的活动应该集中在狭窄的范围内，并由社区驱动或使用社区资源。美洲印第安人利用多种媒体来源获取健康信息，与一般人口相比，互联网的利用不足。在为土著人开发和传播新的保健信息方面，与印第安保健服务提供者和药剂师以及传统治疗师建立伙伴关系，可提供促进改善美洲印第安人健康所需的“专家”腔调。
American Indians and Alaska Natives suffer significant health disparities for many infectious and chronic diseases as compared to the general population. Providing accurate and culturally tailored health information to underserved groups has been shown to influence health behaviors and health outcomes. Little prior research has explored American Indians health information use and preferences. National representative sample surveys such as the Health Information National Trends Survey provide some data on minority groups but are underpowered to provide useful information on American Indians. The present study analyzes data from a survey of over 900 American Indians from the Midwest United States and explores their sources of health information, their preferences for information presentation, and their use of health information prior to and during medical encounters. We conclude that campaigns targeting Natives should be narrowly focused and be community driven or employing community resources. American Indians use a diversity of media sources to obtain health information, with the Internet being underutilized compared to the general population. Partnership with Indian Health Service providers and pharmacists, as well as traditional healers, in the development and dissemination of new health information for Natives may provide the “expert” tone needed to promote health improvements in American Indians.
