Research Publications & Data Resources
Health and Medicine Division Report - Advancing Health Equity for Native American Youth: Workshop Summary
Many of the serious behavioral, emotional, and physical health concerns facing young people today are especially prevalent with Native youth (e.g., depression, violence, and substance abuse). Arrayed against these health problems are vital cultural strengths on which Native Americans can draw. At a workshop held in 2012 by the Roundtable on the Promotion of Health Equity and the Elimination of Health Disparities of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, presenters described many of these strengths, including community traditions and beliefs, social support networks, close-knit families, and individual resilience. This publication includes discussions from the workshop. Click here for more information. National Institute on Aging Report - Aging Well in the 21st Century: Strategic Directions for Research on AgingTo reduce the burden of illness, enhance quality of life, and maintain health among older adults, we must first understand the aging contexts for illness and health. To that end, we are exploring "aging" not as a single process, but rather as an intricate web of interdependent genetic, biochemical, physiological, economic, social, and psychological factors.
