: Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Native youth aged 15-24. Similarly, Native youth have a suicide rate 1.5 times higher than the general population and are at higher risk for depression and substance use. A persistent need remains for culturally specific mental health interventions for American Indian youth.: In response to the push for research-supported interventions, evidence mapping has emerged as systematic, rigorous, and replicable analysis of evidence. The overall goal of this study is to utilize evidence mapping for mental health interventions for American Indian youth.: A total of 9 interventions were mapped as research-supported interventions for American Indian mental health. The interventions fell into one or more of four main categories: school-based services, cultural adaptations, culture as treatment, and community involvement.: Results of this study demonstrate the strength of culturally specific mental health interventions for American Indian youth. Future research should seek to evaluate promising practices for American Indian youth in order to increase available research-supported interventions. Additionally, future endeavors should seek to combine both Indigenous and Western approaches to practice with a particular focus on holistic wellness.
自杀是导致 15-24 岁原住民青少年死亡的第二大主要原因。同样，原住民青少年的自杀率比一般人口高 1.5 倍，且更易患抑郁症和药物滥用。针对美国印第安青少年的文化特异性心理健康干预措施仍存在持续需求。
为了响应对研究支持的干预措施的推动，证据图谱已作为一种系统、严谨且可复制的证据分析方法出现。本研究的总体目标是利用证据图谱来研究针对美国印第安青少年的心理健康干预措施。
共有 9 项干预措施被确定为针对美国印第安人心理健康的研究支持的干预措施。这些干预措施分为以下四类之一或多类：学校服务、文化适应、文化作为治疗方法和社区参与。
这项研究的结果表明，针对美国印第安青少年的文化特异性心理健康干预措施具有强大的效果。未来的研究应寻求评估针对美国印第安青少年的有前途的实践，以增加可用的研究支持的干预措施。此外，未来的努力应该寻求将本土和西方的实践方法相结合，特别注重整体健康。
