Minnesota's urban and rural Indian communities today face a similar set of complex and daunting health problems. No one overriding issue exists, nor does an overall solution. While staff shortages, a dire lack of Indian health professionals, and inadequate financial resources play a role, poverty, racism, lifestyle, alcoholism, and cultural change and conflict all further complicate health problems for Indian people.
明尼苏达州的城市和农村印第安人社区如今面临着一系列类似的复杂且严峻的健康问题。不存在一个压倒一切的问题,也没有一个全面的解决方案。虽然人员短缺、印第安卫生专业人员严重匮乏以及财政资源不足都起到了一定作用,但贫困、种族主义、生活方式、酗酒以及文化变迁和冲突,都使印第安人的健康问题更加复杂。
