00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,900
[Thorpe] Welcome
to Beyond the Data.
2
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:10,233
I'm Dr. Phoebe Thorpe, and here
3
00:00:10,233 --> 00:00:13,600
with me today is Dr. Spero
Manson distinguished Professor
4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,400
of Public Health and Psychiatry.
5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,233
[Manson] Thank you.
6
00:00:16,233 --> 00:00:17,400
[Thorpe] Thank you
for joining us Spero.
7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,367
[Manson] Not at all.
8
00:00:18,367 --> 00:00:22,934
[Thorpe] Today's session
was about suicidal behaviors
9
00:00:22,934 --> 00:00:28,266
in American Indian and Alaska
native especially in the youth.
10
00:00:28,266 --> 00:00:31,633
We heard, in the session,
how high the rates are,
11
00:00:31,633 --> 00:00:34,867
the suicide rates
are for these youth,
12
00:00:34,867 --> 00:00:37,600
and it's tied to health equity.
13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,400
How is it tied to health equity?
14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,533
[Manson] Health equity
means a number of things
15
00:00:42,533 --> 00:00:45,400
to a number of different people.
16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,967
I think of it in terms
of access to opportunity.
17
00:00:50,967 --> 00:00:53,066
Often and I think this
is still characteristic
18
00:00:53,066 --> 00:00:55,700
in the field are
assumptions, about the risk
19
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,266
of suicide especially
among American Indian
20
00:00:58,266 --> 00:01:01,967
and Alaska native youth
and younger adults.
21
00:01:01,967 --> 00:01:05,200
Focus on individual
deficiencies,
22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,266
lack of coping abilities,
other types of personality,
23
00:01:10,266 --> 00:01:13,200
etc. I believe that in fact most
24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,300
of that camouflages the
inequities that are afoot
25
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:20,767
in terms of the opportunity
structures in the committees
26
00:01:20,767 --> 00:01:23,533
within which we live and work.
27
00:01:23,533 --> 00:01:27,600
So that matters of
poverty matters of lack
28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,467
of employment opportunities,
29
00:01:29,467 --> 00:01:34,800
difficulties acquiring
an education dampened the
30
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,600
aspirations that many youth
31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,967
and young adults have
in our communities.
32
00:01:38,967 --> 00:01:42,133
And, when you dampen those
aspirations, it leaves you
33
00:01:42,133 --> 00:01:45,433
with a sense of hopelessness
and helplessness.
34
00:01:45,433 --> 00:01:49,200
[Thorpe] So, as we heard in the
session today, it really sounds
35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,333
like a comprehensive approach to
suicide prevention is important,
36
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:56,967
but we also know that
it's important to bring
37
00:01:56,967 --> 00:02:00,867
in culturally appropriate
prevention strategies.
38
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:06,100
Can, and you've had some success
with that in your approach,
39
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:08,467
can you tell me a
little bit about that?
40
00:02:08,467 --> 00:02:09,867
[Manson] Of course.
41
00:02:09,867 --> 00:02:12,767
When we talk about
comprehensive approaches,
42
00:02:12,767 --> 00:02:16,200
it recognizes the fact that
American Alaska native youth
43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,867
and young adults live in
many different worlds.
44
00:02:18,867 --> 00:02:25,300
Not only just white world and
native world but in schools,
45
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:27,667
among their peers,
within their families,
46
00:02:27,667 --> 00:02:30,533
within the broader community,
and so, the importance
47
00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:34,400
of marshaling our strategies
48
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,867
that recognize the
different worlds
49
00:02:37,867 --> 00:02:42,433
in which our young
people live is the essence
50
00:02:42,433 --> 00:02:44,500
of comprehensiveness.
51
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,934
My work has focused on one
of those particular worlds.
52
00:02:47,934 --> 00:02:51,567
Dr. Lafromboise who presented
just before me focused
53
00:02:51,567 --> 00:02:52,867
on schools.
54
00:02:52,867 --> 00:02:53,934
Very important.
55
00:02:53,934 --> 00:02:58,667
Place where most American
Alaskan of youth live and work
56
00:02:58,667 --> 00:03:00,900
so too is primary care.
57
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,834
And as I mentioned in
my particular remarks,
58
00:03:04,834 --> 00:03:07,800
there is a conspiracy of
silence around suicide
59
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,033
because of the stigma that
frequently attached to that
60
00:03:11,033 --> 00:03:17,433
and the disclosure of the risk
related to that condition.
61
00:03:17,433 --> 00:03:20,100
And primary care, the
white coat phenomena,
62
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:23,333
the very special contract
between a provider
63
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:27,967
and patient allows those
conversations to emerge in ways
64
00:03:27,967 --> 00:03:33,066
that might not otherwise
happen outside of such contacts
65
00:03:33,066 --> 00:03:38,934
because the notion
threat of being...
66
00:03:38,934 --> 00:03:39,800
[Thorpe] Exposed.
67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,500
[Manson] Exposed.
68
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,000
Exactly with respect
to that risk of suicide
69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,834
and the conversation that
it occasions is much lower.
70
00:03:46,834 --> 00:03:49,300
And so, this kind of a program
71
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:52,367
in a evidence-based practice
called screening brief
72
00:03:52,367 --> 00:03:55,967
intervention referral for
treatment Espurt seeks
73
00:03:55,967 --> 00:03:59,767
to capitalize on that
very special relationship,
74
00:03:59,767 --> 00:04:03,400
and to use one's visit to
the primary care setting
75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,633
as an opportunity to initiate
that conversation and build
76
00:04:06,633 --> 00:04:09,467
from there towards intervention.
77
00:04:09,467 --> 00:04:11,500
[Thorpe] I also heard
in your presentation
78
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:12,934
about the importance.
79
00:04:12,934 --> 00:04:15,834
How you've brought in
traditional medicine
80
00:04:15,834 --> 00:04:18,934
as as treatment options.
81
00:04:18,934 --> 00:04:20,033
Can you tell me a
little bit more
82
00:04:20,033 --> 00:04:21,767
about the importance of that?
83
00:04:21,767 --> 00:04:24,834
[Manson] One of the
lovely examples from each
84
00:04:24,834 --> 00:04:27,367
of the three programs
that I described,
85
00:04:27,367 --> 00:04:30,233
which are not my programs,
programs I've consulted with,
86
00:04:30,233 --> 00:04:34,734
and been privileged to
have a partnership with.
87
00:04:34,734 --> 00:04:39,600
The detection of this risk
of suicide is intended
88
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,400
to provide readier access
to more biomedical tools
89
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,133
that are available to
us to reduce that risk.
90
00:04:48,133 --> 00:04:51,700
That they have all used
this as an opportunity
91
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:54,900
to increase the access that
that individual at risk has
92
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,800
with respect to the
traditional healing resources.
93
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,900
That each has built into
their own setting as well
94
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,166
as what exists out in
the greater community,
95
00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:06,767
and the nature of those
traditional healing resources
96
00:05:06,767 --> 00:05:07,967
varies regionally...
97
00:05:07,967 --> 00:05:08,133
[Thorpe] Of course.
98
00:05:08,133 --> 00:05:10,834
[Manson] as one would
imagine from one setting.
99
00:05:10,834 --> 00:05:12,266
[Thorpe] From one
tribe to the next.
100
00:05:12,266 --> 00:05:12,734
[Manson] Exactly.
101
00:05:12,734 --> 00:05:14,133
[Thorpe] Exactly.
102
00:05:14,133 --> 00:05:16,533
And, can you tell
me a little bit more
103
00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:19,600
about Dr. Lafromboise'
work with the schools?
104
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,100
She has done some phenomenal
work about building,
105
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:26,500
problem solving, and resiliency
106
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:30,767
in younger Native
American and Alaska youth.
107
00:05:30,767 --> 00:05:31,767
[Manson] It's similar.
108
00:05:31,767 --> 00:05:33,734
It's similar for
several reasons,
109
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:34,734
and I've had the privilege
110
00:05:34,734 --> 00:05:38,233
of knowing Dr. Lafromboise
for three decades.
111
00:05:38,233 --> 00:05:41,900
Although she's much younger
than me, you'd never know.
112
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:47,633
And her work really began
to capitalize on note
113
00:05:47,633 --> 00:05:50,867
that her program is called
life skills development.
114
00:05:50,867 --> 00:05:54,567
You don't see explicit
recognition or conversation
115
00:05:54,567 --> 00:05:58,266
about suicide early in the
course of that intervention.
116
00:05:58,266 --> 00:06:01,900
And it's really about
recognizing the strengths
117
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,667
and skills in assets
that all youth have
118
00:06:04,667 --> 00:06:08,066
and particularly American and
Alaska native youth in figuring
119
00:06:08,066 --> 00:06:10,633
out how to enable
them to recognize
120
00:06:10,633 --> 00:06:13,433
that they possess those
strengths and skills
121
00:06:13,433 --> 00:06:18,633
and then enabling them
to act on those to build
122
00:06:18,633 --> 00:06:25,133
and enhance those skills towards
improving their protection
123
00:06:25,133 --> 00:06:26,600
from suicide.
124
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,867
It builds upon the sense
125
00:06:27,867 --> 00:06:31,467
of resilience that's always been
there in native communities,
126
00:06:31,467 --> 00:06:35,033
but it's not been recognized
in terms of its potential
127
00:06:35,033 --> 00:06:38,100
until her work around
suicide with native youth.
128
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:39,900
[Thorpe] It's interesting
129
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:45,000
that we were doing this session
how a lot of the folks here
130
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,100
in public health recognize
the importance of working
131
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:50,900
in schools, so it's very
very important work.
132
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:51,834
[Manson] It is.
133
00:06:51,834 --> 00:06:54,166
[Thorpe] And her presentation
is very interesting.
134
00:06:54,166 --> 00:06:58,333
So when we're talking about
comprehensive changes,
135
00:06:58,333 --> 00:07:02,667
and comprehensive
includes changing norms,
136
00:07:02,667 --> 00:07:03,867
what could you tell us
137
00:07:03,867 --> 00:07:06,333
about changing norms
to prevent suicide?
138
00:07:06,333 --> 00:07:07,934
[Manson] That's a
wonderful question.
139
00:07:07,934 --> 00:07:11,567
So we talk about the norms
surrounding the behaviors
140
00:07:11,567 --> 00:07:14,800
that place people at risk,
on particularly young people.
141
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,066
Like suicide.
142
00:07:16,066 --> 00:07:16,734
What do we do?
143
00:07:16,734 --> 00:07:21,333
We usually cite statistics
with behavioral risk survey
144
00:07:21,333 --> 00:07:24,667
that indicates the 27% of
youth in our middle schools
145
00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:28,533
and high schools have
reported thinking about suicide
146
00:07:28,533 --> 00:07:32,667
and taking their lives within
a one month period of time.
147
00:07:32,667 --> 00:07:36,633
Important of concern
demanding our attention,
148
00:07:36,633 --> 00:07:41,100
but in native communities were
now pointing out that that means
149
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:45,834
that 83% of our youth
do not think that way.
150
00:07:45,834 --> 00:07:48,633
And so you're beginning to
see movements afflict now
151
00:07:48,633 --> 00:07:51,567
within American and
Alaskan native communities.
152
00:07:51,567 --> 00:07:55,800
Under the rubric of most
of us, indicate that most
153
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,767
of us don't have suicidal
thoughts or ideation.
154
00:08:00,767 --> 00:08:02,233
What is that about?
155
00:08:02,233 --> 00:08:04,700
How can we understand
that better?
156
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:07,066
What does that reflect
under this notion
157
00:08:07,066 --> 00:08:09,133
of resilience in assets?
158
00:08:09,133 --> 00:08:12,533
How can we translate that
into ways that those who are
159
00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:18,166
at risk can benefit and change
the conversations that we have
160
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:20,400
in our respective communities?
161
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,233
So I think that's one of the
very exciting initiatives
162
00:08:24,233 --> 00:08:27,133
that are underway not
just in native communities
163
00:08:27,133 --> 00:08:28,667
but many communities probably,
164
00:08:28,667 --> 00:08:33,066
but they have a particular
residence in native communities
165
00:08:33,066 --> 00:08:35,734
because of this emphasis
on strengths,
166
00:08:35,734 --> 00:08:38,200
resilience, and assets.
167
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,166
[Thorpe] And gatekeepers?
168
00:08:40,166 --> 00:08:42,033
[Manson] The notion
169
00:08:42,033 --> 00:08:45,767
of gatekeepers is actually
very very consistent with life
170
00:08:45,767 --> 00:08:48,033
in native communities.
171
00:08:48,033 --> 00:08:53,333
We talk about gatekeepers
in the native way of looking
172
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:56,734
at the world in terms of
individuals who will sponsor us
173
00:08:56,734 --> 00:09:00,133
for ceremonies over a
variety of different types.
174
00:09:00,133 --> 00:09:03,567
For example, among the
Navajo, there's the notion
175
00:09:03,567 --> 00:09:05,667
of the corn pollen
path among the Lakota
176
00:09:05,667 --> 00:09:09,066
from the northern plains that
of the red road, among my people
177
00:09:09,066 --> 00:09:11,400
of the Ojibway or Anishinaabe
178
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,500
from the eastern woodlands
the notion of peace madadalin
179
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:16,700
which means a person
of integrity.
180
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:20,867
And what these refer to are
developmental life courses.
181
00:09:20,867 --> 00:09:25,266
Has if you will to becoming
a contributing member
182
00:09:25,266 --> 00:09:28,066
of one's community,
and at each point
183
00:09:28,066 --> 00:09:32,233
in that developmental trajectory
there are specific individuals
184
00:09:32,233 --> 00:09:36,400
who are charged with
helping us navigate
185
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,800
that path acquiring the skills.
186
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,333
Emulating the behaviors of
that are consistent with that,
187
00:09:43,333 --> 00:09:46,967
and they are the
original gatekeepers.
188
00:09:46,967 --> 00:09:49,700
Gatekeepers with respect
to health and wellness
189
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:54,033
and that progression throughout
developmental lifespan.
190
00:09:54,033 --> 00:09:56,133
So this notion of
gatekeepers that's come
191
00:09:56,133 --> 00:10:00,166
from the public health arena
actually resonates quite well
192
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:01,533
among native communities.
193
00:10:01,533 --> 00:10:04,834
For the most part, in the public
health arena, we think about it
194
00:10:04,834 --> 00:10:07,133
as teachers, as first
responders,
195
00:10:07,133 --> 00:10:10,800
as primary care providers, as
members of the faith community,
196
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,967
etc. Well, those are
just the counterparts
197
00:10:13,967 --> 00:10:17,266
to the spiritual paths that
we've identified long ago
198
00:10:17,266 --> 00:10:20,734
that one wants to navigate
and becoming a person
199
00:10:20,734 --> 00:10:25,066
of integrity is not
that they will win so.
200
00:10:25,066 --> 00:10:27,967
[Thorpe] So if somebody wants to
find out some more information
201
00:10:27,967 --> 00:10:31,667
about preventing suicide,
where would they look?
202
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,033
[Manson] It's a great question
203
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:35,033
because if you'd asked
me this 40 years ago
204
00:10:35,033 --> 00:10:38,000
when I first entered the field
it was relatively nothing.
205
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,300
I'm impressed that today that
there's a wealth of resources,
206
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:43,266
and at the end of
today's presentation,
207
00:10:43,266 --> 00:10:45,900
I believe there were series of
slides that provide the viewer
208
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:48,567
with immediate reference points.
209
00:10:48,567 --> 00:10:50,233
I have been privileged
to be a part
210
00:10:50,233 --> 00:10:51,633
of SAMHSA the Substance Abuse
211
00:10:51,633 --> 00:10:53,934
and Mental Health
Services Administrations.
212
00:10:53,934 --> 00:10:57,333
On Initiative on Garrett Lee
Smith, youth suicide prevention,
213
00:10:57,333 --> 00:11:00,433
and related initiative
entitled native connections
214
00:11:00,433 --> 00:11:02,934
which are focused
very specifically
215
00:11:02,934 --> 00:11:06,433
on one the translation
evidence-based practices
216
00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:09,300
from the general mainstream
to native communities
217
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:13,333
and their application in hopes
of reducing the risk of suicide.
218
00:11:13,333 --> 00:11:17,266
And secondly, identifying
these intrinsic strength
219
00:11:17,266 --> 00:11:20,533
and resilience within
native communities
220
00:11:20,533 --> 00:11:23,100
and illustrating how our
people have been able
221
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:27,567
to build upon them and
to codify them in ways
222
00:11:27,567 --> 00:11:29,100
that others can benefit.
223
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:31,767
And so, I think that those two
initiatives particularly are
224
00:11:31,767 --> 00:11:33,333
especially important
and relevant
225
00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:34,567
to the interested party.
226
00:11:34,567 --> 00:11:35,400
[Thorpe] Okay.
227
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,867
And also, are there some from
the Indian Health Service
228
00:11:39,867 --> 00:11:41,600
and [Manson] There are.
229
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,667
There's a special
initiative currently underway
230
00:11:43,667 --> 00:11:46,400
for the last eight years in
the Indian Health Service.
231
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,533
That is of benefit as well.
232
00:11:48,533 --> 00:11:51,300
It's less well-documented
than those in SAMHSA.
233
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:57,400
So, I think the best approach is
to seek out all possibilities.
234
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,300
[Thorpe] Thank you so
much for joining us.
235
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:00,100
[Manson] My pleasure.
236
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:01,533
[Thorpe] And thank you so much
237
00:12:01,533 --> 00:12:03,266
for joining us for
Beyond the Data.
238
00:12:03,266 --> 00:12:04,667
See you next month.
