Building Tribal-Researcher Capacity to Inform Data-Driven Practices, Technology, and Tribal Justice, United States, 2019 (ICPSR 38013)

Released/updated on: 2023-02-13

Geographic coverage: United States

The Center for Court Innovation, in partnership with independent consultants from the public defender's office of certain tribes, conducted a comprehensive survey of tribal justice system stakeholders, focused on the existing use of risk-needs assessments and similar tools, and existing data collection/technology used by tribal jurisdictions around the country. The survey results create a comprehensive portrait of tribal court system risk and need assessment, data collection, management, and challenges reported by those directly involved in managing and working with people in the system.

The Effects of Roads on Indigenous People's Well-Being and Use of Natural Resources. A Natural Experiment in Lowland Bolivia, 2010-2013 (ICPSR 38556)

Released/updated on: 2022-11-28

Geographic coverage: South America, Bolivia

This study looks to improve estimates of the effects of the road on the well-being of indigenous peoples and on their use of natural resources. The investigators use a natural experiment based on the construction of a road through a national park inhabited by three native Amazonian groups in Bolivia. The research lasted three years (1/2010-12/2012) and took place in villages in Parque Nacional Isiboro-Secure inhabited by native Amazonians (Tsimane, Yuracare, and Moxenos). The study includes a baseline or pre-intervention study during 2010 (before the road was built) and two annual follow-up surveys (2011 and 2012) immediately after the construction of the road (2011).

The variables in the data indicate measures of well-being and natural resource extraction. The measures of well-being include: (a) village income and status inequality, (b) intra-household disparities, and (c) individual cash income, (d) social capital, and (e) emotions. The measures of use of natural resources include the extraction of natural resources used for sale and for own consumption.

The units of analysis are villages, households, and individuals.

Evaluation of the Bureau of Justice Assistance's Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Demonstration Programs, 2002-2006 (ICPSR 25741)

Released/updated on: 2015-01-20

Geographic coverage: United States, Washington

Time period: 2002-01-01--2006-01-01

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Lummi Nation's Community Mobilization Against Drugs (CMAD) Initiative successfully achieved its four stated goals, which were to reduce illicit drug trafficking, reduce rates of substance use disorder and addiction, prevent drug abuse and underage drinking among youth, and mobilize the community in all aspects of prevention, intervention, and suppression of alcohol and drug use, drug abuse, and drug trafficking. The study also aimed to evaluate whether the outcomes of the demonstration project had application for other tribal communities confronting similar public safety issues related to substance abuse. Qualitative information from focus group interviews was collected. Six focus groups were held with individuals representing the following populations: service providers, policy makers, adult clients and family members, youth, traditional tribal healers, and community members. In addition to the focus groups, the evaluation team conducted an interview session with two traditional providers who preferred this format. All focus groups were conducted on-site at Lummi by two trained moderators from the evaluation team. There were six different sets of questions, one for each group. Each set included 9 to 10 open-ended questions, which addressed knowledge and impact of the Community Mobilized Against Drugs (CMAD) Initiative; issues or problems with the Initiative; how the community viewed its actions; the importance and inclusion of a cultural perspective (traditional healers and others) in implementing various aspects of the CMAD Initiative; and how the Initiative had affected work and networking capabilities, policy making decisions, and/or treatment. Participants were also asked to think about what they would like CMAD to address and about their perceptions and definitions of some of the service barriers they may be experiencing (clients, community, and/or youth). All of the focus groups were openly audio taped with full knowledge and agreement of the participants.

Inequality, Social Capital, and Health in Bolivia, 2008-2009 (ICPSR 38898)

Released/updated on: 2024-01-11

Geographic coverage: Bolivia

Time period: 2008-01-01--2009-01-01

This randomized controlled trial examined the independent effect of village income inequality and individual income on individual health. Specifically, the study assessed how these two variables interacted with social capital to affect individual health. For the trial, 40 villages were selected for two experimental treatments.

In the first treatment, 13 villages were picked at random to receive 782kg of edible rice as in-kind income. The 782kg of rice was split equally between all households in the village. For the second treatment, another 13 villages were picked at random. Each village in the second treatment received the same amount of rice as the villages in the first treatment (782kg), but all of the rice went to the poorest 20 percent of households in the village, with each household getting the same amount of rice. All households in the remaining 14 villages and all households in the top 80 percent of the village income distribution of the second treatment acted as controls, and received 6kg of high-yielding, improved rice seeds.

The baseline survey was administered between February and May 2008, households received the rice between October 2008 and January 2009, and the end-line survey was administered between February and May 2009. Outcomes included anthropometric indicators of nutritional status, perceived health, and blood pressure.

Methodological Complexity: A both/and Approach to Address Tool Validity and Reliability for Assessment of Cultural Responsiveness in Indigenous Serving Schools (ICPSR 195265)

Released/updated on: 2023-12-20

Time period: 2019-01-01--2019-12-20

This paper presents the first psychometric validation of the Culturally Responsive Assessment of Indigenous Schooling (CRAIS) tool, alongside a call for methodological complexity when engaged in research with and in Indigenous contexts. We examined the 23 culturally responsive schooling (CRS) principles underlying the newly created CRAIS tool in independent samples of curriculum units produced by teachers. Of the 23, 22 principles loaded into two factors. We further investigated the rationale for all 23 items through a review of the literature and robust discussions about the lived experiences of the authors and the Indigenous teachers with whom we work. We suggest that this both/and approach of quantitative and qualitative analysis results in a richer and more nuanced tool, as compared to what one single method would have rendered. Embracing this methodological complexity allows us to both center Indigenous lived experiences and maintain fidelity to the statistical implications of our work.

Qualitative Transcripts for: “If we don’t do it, nobody is going to talk about it”: Indigenous Students Disrupting Latinidad at Hispanic Serving Institutions (ICPSR 152762)

Released/updated on: 2021-10-18

Time period: 2006-01-01--2018-01-01

These files contain the anonymized data files used for the paper: “If we don’t do it, nobody is going to talk about it”: Indigenous Students Disrupting Latinidad at Hispanic Serving InstitutionsThe abstract for the paper is found below:Hispanic and Latinx are terms that conflate ethnicity, race, and nationality and complicate our ability to generalize what it means for Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) to serve such a diverse student population. Latinidad has also privileged mestizo narratives that obscure enduring colonialities of power and perpetuate the invisibility of Indigenous peoples. Conceptually framed by Critical Latinx Indigeneities, this study documents the testimonios of 10 Indigenous Mixtec/Ñuu Savi, Zapotec, and Nahua students at HSIs in California. I highlight issues of racialization and Indigenous misrepresentation within Latinx-centered curricula and programming and the ways participants engaged in fugitive acts of learning (Patel, 2016, 2019) to claim new forms of visibility on campus. The findings raise important implications for HSIs, including Latinx programming that disrupts colonial perspectives and more nuanced understandings of diasporic Indigeneity within Latinx communities.Hispanic and Latinx are terms that conflate ethnicity, race, and nationality and complicate our ability to generalize what it means for Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) to serve such a diverse student population.

Substance Use Among American Indian Youth: Epidemiology and Etiology, [United States], 2015-2020 (ICPSR 37997)

Released/updated on: 2021-05-19

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2015-01-01--2020-01-01

This study is a continuation of an ongoing 40+ year surveillance effort assessing the levels and patterns of substance use among American Indian (AI) adolescents attending schools on or near reservations. The current set of data is from the most recent funding cycle, 2015-2020. During this funding cycle, annual samples across various geographic regions in which reservation-based AI residents reside were obtained and school-based surveys were completed. In addition to the annual epidemiology of substance use, data pertaining to risk and protective factors, including cultural-ethnic identity, perceived discrimination, family factors, and individual risk and protective factors were obtained. It should be noted that two major changes were made during this funding cycle:

1) The wording of substance use variables was altered to mirror wording from Monitoring the Future to allow for direct comparisons between the two studies.

2) All data during this funding cycle were obtained online using Qualtrics.
