American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) communities experience a disproportionate number of violent crimes compared with other populations. Tribal-based services for victims are lacking on smaller reservations. A needs assessment was conducted for a tribe in the Pacific Northwest addressing this issue.
Utilizing a framework of community-based participatory research (CBPR), a survey study was conducted with tribal members and local service providers. Survey A was composed of questions constructed by a tribal working group and Survey B questions were from an existing survey.
Tribal members ( = 5) indicated violence was experienced by all and witnessed by 80% of participants. Service providers ( = 17) perceived adequate but underutilization of resources.
The presence of violence in the community was confirmed. Services were not routinely accessed by members. Service providers indicated knowledge gaps in the community and cultural barriers for AIAN people. The study raised awareness of violence in AIAN communities and need for additional research.
与其他人群相比，美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）社区经历的暴力犯罪数量不成比例。在较小的保留地，缺乏针对受害者的部落服务。针对太平洋西北地区的一个部落进行了一项需求评估，以解决这一问题。
利用基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）框架，对部落成员和当地服务提供商进行了一项调查研究。调查 A 由部落工作组构建的问题组成，调查 B 的问题来自现有调查。
部落成员（= 5）表示所有成员都经历过暴力行为，80%的参与者都目睹过暴力行为。服务提供商（= 17）认为资源充足，但利用率低。
社区中存在暴力行为得到证实。成员没有定期使用这些服务。服务提供商表示，社区存在知识差距和针对 AIAN 人的文化障碍。该研究提高了对 AIAN 社区中暴力行为的认识，需要进一步研究。
