American Indian Tobacco Epidemiology
• According to BRFSS about 35.5% of American Indians (AI) in MN, WI & MI Smoke (n=126)
• The American Indian Community Tobacco Project found that 62% of AI adults in urban MN were smokers and only 12% had never smoked (n=300)
• 4 of the 5 leading causes of AI death in MN, WI, & MI are tobacco related

Relationships with Research
• Past harms have created mistrust of research
• Standard research methods do not work in “Indian Country”– Selection bias– Not differentiating between spiritual and
abusive tobacco use
• Research conducted does not benefit the Indian community

![Page 11: Priority Populations/New Users Isaiah Brokenleg M.P.H. Behavioral Health Epidemiologist](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814979550346895db6c6c7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is the WNYTS?
• Culturally competent• Self-administered• School based • Tobacco survey
– Traditional/ceremonial use– Tobacco abuse– Thoughts/beliefs about tobacco– Environmental Tobacco Smoke exposure
![Page 12: Priority Populations/New Users Isaiah Brokenleg M.P.H. Behavioral Health Epidemiologist](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814979550346895db6c6c7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Challenges
• Racial conflicts– Within/between communities– Off reservation schools– Perceptions of Indian capabilities
• Scheduling with schools and staff• Communication• $$ Thanks WI TPCP!!! (hugs and
kisses)

Successes
• First ever comprehensive statewide Native youth tobacco survey
• Used census method• Went about it in a “good way”• Large # of participants (N > 1800)• Built stronger relationships with
tribes, schools, and state• Demonstrated abilities of Indian work

![Page 16: Priority Populations/New Users Isaiah Brokenleg M.P.H. Behavioral Health Epidemiologist](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814979550346895db6c6c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
High School Tobacco Abuse
![Page 17: Priority Populations/New Users Isaiah Brokenleg M.P.H. Behavioral Health Epidemiologist](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814979550346895db6c6c7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tobacco use = tobacco abuse?• Ceremonial users (at 1st glance) 40-
70% more likely to have abused or be current tobacco abusers
• Type of tobacco used in ceremony makes all the difference– Cigarettes for ceremony = 2 to 4 times
more likely to have abused or be current tobacco abusers
– Loose tobacco or traditional tobacco = 50-75% less likely to have abused or be be current tobacco abusers
