American Indian and Alaska Natives youth and adults experience higher rates of type 2 diabetes and mental health problems than the general United States population. Few studies have explored the relationship other than detail the two issues independently. The present review aims to identify programs that seek to prevent/treat type 2 diabetes and mental health disorders in the American Indian and Alaska Native population. Available programs were reviewed for AI/AN adults and youth who suffer with both. As part of the review process, databases were searched for peer reviewed published studies. It was found that very few programs effectively incorporate mental health into the existing diabetes program. Four recommendations for future research are offered based on this literature review.
美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民青年及成年人患2型糖尿病和心理健康问题的比例高于美国普通人群。除了分别详细阐述这两个问题外,很少有研究探讨它们之间的关系。本综述旨在确定旨在预防/治疗美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民人群中2型糖尿病和精神健康障碍的项目。对现有的针对同时患有这两种疾病的美国印第安/阿拉斯加原住民成年人及青年的项目进行了审查。作为审查过程的一部分,在数据库中搜索了同行评审的已发表研究。结果发现,很少有项目能有效地将心理健康纳入现有的糖尿病项目中。基于这篇文献综述,提出了未来研究的四点建议。
