Mission: To increase the knowledge of complementary
therapies for mental disorders in Indian country.
American Indians/ Alaskan Natives experience severe psychological distress 1.5 times
more than the general population (National Center for Health Statistics, Department of
Health and Human Services, 2007).
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/hus07.pdf
In 2014, 8.8% of American Indians and Alaska Natives ages 18 and up had cooccurring, past-year mental and substance use disorders, while the national average was
3.3% (Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations, 2015).
http://www.samhsa.gov/specific-populations/racial-ethnic-minority
According to the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH), 90 percent of people who
die by suicide have depression or other mental disorders, or substance-abuse disorders in
conjunction with other mental disorders (Ha, 2013).
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20975864]
Suicide is the second leading cause of death (behind unintentional injuries) for Indian
youth ages 15-24 residing in IHS service areas and is 3.5 times higher than the national
average (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2013).
http://www.hhs.gov/asl/testify/2010/03/t20100325a.html#4
There is a treatment gap that exists for those with mental disorders. The treatment gap
exceeds 50% in all countries of the world, approaching astonishingly high rates of 90%
in the least resourced countries (Patel, Maj, De Silva, M.J., Koschorke, & Prince, 2010)
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20975864]
There is a lack of mental health resources in American Indian/ Alaskan Native
communities due to their rural and remote locations. Additionally, 20% of American
Indian/ Alaskan Natives do not have health insurance, compared to 14% of whites
(Department of Health and Human Services, U.S Public Health Service, 2001)
[http://www.ct.gov/dmhas/lib/dmhas/publications/mhethnicity.pdf]
Alcohol-use disorders were more likely among American Indian youths than other racial
groups. In 2007, 8.5% of all AI/AN youth were struggling with an alcohol use disorder
compared to 5.8% of the general use population (American Indian Children and Families,
2015).
http://www.nicwa.org/children_families/
Heavy alcohol use directly affects brain function and alters various brain chemical (i.e.,
neurotransmitter) and hormonal systems known to be involved in the development of
many common mental disorders (e.g., mood and anxiety disorders) (Koob 2000). Thus, it
is not surprising that alcoholism can manifest itself in a broad range of psychiatric
symptoms and signs (Shivani, Goldsmith, Anthenelli, & R.M, 2002)
http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh26-2/90-98.htm
Indian/Native communities historic negative experiences have contributed to a sentiment
of suspicion towards the federal government and the health care system, effectively
further limiting access to mental health care for many Indians/Natives regardless of their
geographic location (American Psychiatric Association, 2009)
https://www.cpp.edu/~healthcounseling/Documents/apa_american-indians.pdf
Seventy percent of urban AI/AN patients in primary care often used traditional health practices;
use was strongly associated with cultural affiliation (Buchwald, Beals, & Manson, 2000)
http://journals.lww.com/lwwmedicalcare/Abstract/2000/12000/Use_of_Traditional_Healt
h_Practices_Among_Native.6.aspx
American Indian Service utilization provided estimates of the prevalence of DSMIII-R
disorders and utilization of services for help with those disorders in American Indian
population. A total of 3,084 tribal members age 15-54 years living on or near their home
reservations were interviewed with an adaptation of the University of Michigan
Composite International Diagnostic Interview. The most common lifetime diagnoses in
the American Indian populations were alcohol dependence, posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), and major depressive episode. Help-seeking from traditional healers was
common in both American Indian populations (Beals, Novins, Whitesell, Spicer,
Mitchell, & Manson, 2000).
Prevalence of Mental Disorders and Utilization of Mental Health Services in Two
American Indian Reservation Populations: Mental Health Disparities in a National
Context.
Counseling attitudes were assessed for American Indian college students rating
themselves as either strongly or weakly committed to both Tribal and Anglo cultures.
Participants strongly committed only to Tribal culture displayed more negative attitudes
toward seeking counseling, recognizing a personal need for counseling, having
confidence in mental health professionals, and interpersonal openness than those strongly
committed only to the Anglo culture or to both cultures (Price, Brian, McNeill, & Brian
W, 1992).
http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/pro/23/5/376/
Dominant western biomedicine is based on the premise that some afflictions are purely
physical in nature (the domain of the body) and others are purely psychological (the
domain of the mind). This separation between mind and body is not
true for many other medical systems that approach health and healing in a more holistic
way (Honwana, 1998).
http://www.forcedmigration.org/rfgexp/pdfs/1_6.pdf
For patients and their caregivers, there are several potential advantages of collaboration
between TCM (Traditional and Complementary Medicine) and conventional mental
health service. Cultural acceptability, accessibility, perceived holistic approach to care
and less stigma may lead to better utilization of a collaborative service by patients and
their caregivers. Other advantages might include the involvement of family and
community as well as the patient, manipulation of the environment to achieve therapeutic
goals, and cost effectiveness. (Gureje, Nortje, Majanjuola, Oladeji, Seedat, & Jenkins,
2015)
The biomedical understandings of the mind and body stand in sharp contrast to
Aboriginal understandings that value the balance of physical, emotional, mental, and
spiritual well being of an individual and his or her interconnectivity to family,
community, and the land (Vucik, Martin-Misener, & Etowa, 2011).

5b. How can you depict the relationship among tp Need, your agencys mission, and your
mission?
Peyton Teeple
Mackenzie Carlson
Mission: To increase knowledge of complementary therapies for mental disorders in Indian
country.
Section 3:
Defining, Modeling and Measuring knowledge of complementary therapies for
mental disorders, and finding the SPECIFIC NEED.
6. How does the literature theoretically define knowledge of complementary therapies for
mental disorders, and what are the component parts of complementary therapies for
mental disorders?
The literature doesnt theoretically define knowledge of complementary therapies for mental
disorders. So, we shall craft a definition by defining complementary therapy, mental disorders
and knowledge. Then, we shall integrate these into definitions.
Exercise
Nutrition
Yoga
Meditation
Relaxation

Massage
Traditional

6b. How does the literature say we can measure knowledge of complementary therapies for
mental disorders?
The literature does not say how we can measure knowledge of complementary therapies for
mental disorders, but for our purposes we have created our own questionnaire, named PeyMac
that does measure of knowledge of complementary therapies for mental disorders.
6c. When is a test valid? What is logical validity? Content validity? Which tests/measures
are logically/content valid? Why?
Test validity is when the test effectively measures what it is supposed to
measure, and all other extraneous variables are controlled by the researcher.
When all other extraneous variables are controlled, we are able to draw more
reliable conclusions. Logical validity is when a test measures what it says it
will measure, meaning the dependent variable and its component parts.
Content validity means the test contains all the component parts of the
dependent variable. Our test is logically and content valid because our test is
measuring all of the component parts of the dependent variable, and
therefore measuring what it purports to measure, which is knowledge of
complementary therapies for mental disorders.
6d. What is test reliability? Do the test/ measure appear reliable? Explain
Test reliability means test consistency it should give the same or similar scores when administered to
the same population when there is no intervention. We would insure that the PeyMac questionnaire is
reliable by administering it to representatives from a different Indian community on a Monday and then
again on Wednesday (test-retest reliability). If results were similar, we would consider the test reliable and
then go on to use it with our target population.

1. Folic Acid Campaign
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrht
ml/mm4840a2.htm
The mission of this awareness campaign was
to increase the awareness and knowledge of
folic acid among women of childbearing age.
The campaign decided to target women of
childbearing age in a four county southwest
Virginia area because there was a needs
assessment conducted in rural southwest
Virginia that indicated that this area had
higher birth defect rate than anywhere else in
the state. A pre-campaign survey consisted
of 5 questions conducted over random
sample telephone surveys that assessed folic
acid awareness and knowledge. It was only
women that were called, aged 18-45, and the
numbers were called based on systematic
random sampling of listed phone number.
The campaign was one year long (between
1997-1998) and consisted of television and
radio public service announcements (PSAs),
a news conference, newspaper
advertisements, and billboards. A grocery

Emotion Sense:
Users of the app record their feelings on a chart that was developed by psychologists. There is
then more surveying done by the app itself so that it can assess the mood of the user more
clearly. This app basically tracks users moods and helps the user figure out what might be
causing that mood. This app could be used in our program by having participants who are able,
download the app, and then use it for the duration of the program. We could discuss how the
participants are liking the app and if they feel like it does help them cope with their moods easier.
The app could be thought of as a complementary method to mental health care.

Link to picture:http://emotionsense.org/images/img-phone.png
Koko:
Koko is an iPhone app
that aims to help with
depression. Its model
is similar to that of
facebook, except users
post about whatever is
going wrong with
them, such as a life
circumstance. Others
can then reply to their
post, giving them
helpful perspectives on
the situation and ways to cope. The idea is that the difference between someone feeling better or
worse about their circumstance is the way in which they are seeing that circumstance. The people
replying to the post are interpreting the circumstance from a more productive perspective, and
their answers are rewarded by an upvoting system. The app coaches the users to answer to the
posts based on guidelines of cognitive therapy techniques that have been proven to work. This
app would be an example of an online complementary therapy that participants in the program
could use. The app is set to be available in the fall, however a direct link for the app could not be
found as of now.

7d. How would you insure that you accommodate for a behavior change model? For
example, for the Social Cognitive Theory Light model how could you be sure that you know
the tp knows what to do, how to do it, wants to do it (motivation), believes they can do it
(self-efficacy), and has a supportive environment?
Social Cognitive Theory Light
A person is more likely to change behavior if
They know what to do:
The individuals in our program group will know what to do, which is to increase their awareness
of complementary therapies for mental disorders, because we will include our groups mission on
our brochures, our facebook page, and other communication materials through our program.
They know how to do it:
The individuals in our program group will know how to increase their awareness of
complementary therapies for mental disorders because we will use communication via our
facebook page and radio ads to let the participants know where and when to be looking out for
our communication tools that give them information on complementary therapies for mental
disorders.
They want to do it (motivation):
The individuals in our program group will want to increase their knowledge of complementary
therapies for mental disorders because our program will provide information on how the
complementary therapies in our program are accessible, acceptable, and cost effective to those
suffering from mental disorders, as compared to being treated solely with conventional medicine,
and how this impacts their community.
They believe they can do it (Self-efficacy):
The individuals in our program group will have self-efficacy based on the relevancy of the
information that our program will provide in their own life. This will hopefully empower
participants and make them believe in their capabilities of learning about and applying the
information that our program will offer about complementary therapies for mental disorders.
They have a supportive environment:
The individuals in our program group will have a supportive environment because our program
is bringing awareness to a community wide need. The whole community is involved in our
program, gaining knowledge with each other on complementary therapies for mental disorders.

Mission: to increase the knowledge of complementary therapies for mental disorder in
Indian country.
The four most common mental disorders experienced in countries around the world are major depression,
bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive compulsive disorder.
Essential vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and magnesium are often deficient in the
general American population. Research has shown that this lack of certain dietary nutrients contribute to
the development of mental disorders.
Diets low in carbohydrates can affect mood, because carbohydrates, which contain naturally occurring
polysaccharides, trigger brain chemicals tryptophan and serotonin that promote feeling of well-being.
Proteins are made up of amino acids and many of the neurotransmitters of the brain are made up of amino
acids. Protein intake and individual amino acid consumption can affect brain functioning and mental
health.
The brain is one of the organs with the highest level of lipids (fats), and to ensure its health, it must be
supplied with fats, and the right ratio of fats. If the two essential fatty acids omega-6 and omega-3 are out
of balance, this can lead to mood imbalances and symptoms of depression. A deficiency in omega-3 fatty
acids can have the same effect.
Researchers have observed that the prevalence of mental disorders has increased in developing countries
in correlation with the deterioration of the western diet.
By improving overall nutrition by consuming your personal required amounts of essential vitamins and
minerals, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, and proteins, you are helping to prevent the
onset of mental disorders, as well as aiding in the treatment of any that you are currently suffering from.
This message has been brought to you by the Complementary Minds Campaign. Stay tuned for next
weeks radio ads, which will be giving information on yoga and relaxation therapy as complementary
therapies for mental disorders.

In comparing the NIH mission with our dyad groups mission, which is, to increase knowledge
of complementary therapies for mental disorders in Indian country, it can be noted that both of
our missions are in line with enhancing the health and reducing illness and disability among
people. Our dyads mission is focused on a specific population of people, American Indians/
Alaskan Natives, but as can be seen in the following grant, the National Institute of Health places
specific attention on the Native American/ Alaskan Native population.

Section 9: Reflection
Please write a combined 1 - 2 page reflection piece on how this project helped your
professional growth relative to the program plan/eval process, independent/self-directed
learning, critical thinking, and collaborative learning.
This project was challenging and rewarding on several levels because it increased our
abilities to critically think about specific information we were looking for, analyze relevant
questions related to our target population and effectively question how impacting our program
will be in order to meet our mission and improve the methods used for mental disorders.
When assessing the need, we thought that the information would be limiting and difficult
because our mission was specific. It was through some difficulty that we found several programs
and government websites that are looking to help with mental disorders. The reason we wanted
to research the possible complementary or alternative therapies for mental disorders is because
with the diagnosis of mental disorders patients are normally treated with drugs that have severe
adverse effects, drug interaction with other drugs if they are taking them, and it takes months for
some medications to work, delaying whether or not that medication actually treats the condition.
As health educators we should not only be informed of the primary therapies used, but possible
other holistic options available. Also, since target populations in rural areas might be limited to
certain care facilities we wanted to increase these other therapies for individuals limited to this
care such as people in Indian country.
One of the few struggles of developing the project was creating and critically thinking
about different sections of the programs evaluation, questionnaire and terminology used. We
realized that there were limited program questionnaires that we could find that specifically
models our program and mission statement. In some parts of the literature review we could not
find a questionnaire that could effectively test our theoretical definition and its component parts,
so we developed our own. There were several sites that are starting to realize the issue of mental
disorders and trying to create newer process of treating these disorders, but when researching the
problems for the Indian country we found more major problems of alcohol and drugs issues. The
specific terminology used for this program was unique and absolutely a necessity for program
planning because through these sections and different steps we can specifically stay on our object
to complete our mission. Defining these terms was a simple task that still required evidence and
reasoning for our purpose. In creating our test we developed an understanding of how to organize
our component parts into questions that would be testing the knowledge of these complementary
therapies that through the literature we found would be most effective for mental disorders. For
the Pre and Post testing in the questionnaire we struggled with how to objectively measure the
data and how our intervention/program would help increase the awareness for mental disorders
in the Indian country, but we soon found that by asking yes/ no responses and giving an example
is allowing for qualitative and quantitative data from our target population. This will prove to be
more effective and allow us to maintain internal validity in our evaluation design.
The possibilities for this program to reach our target population we feel could actually
become a reality in helping some of these target populations. It would require more research on
methods of the different therapies, professionals trained in those areas and conducting phone
interviews to gather the data for different locations, but overall could be implemented by anyone.
We feel as though we have effectively outlined our program that anyone could implement it,
because of the review of literature we have done, the organization of our program, the resources
and questionnaire that we developed and even what places in Michigan this program could be
tested with. The other positive objective of our program is organization in measuring the
increased knowledge.
It was through increasing and expanding our research abilities in finding specific
programs, and analyzing their information for developing our own questionnaire and programs,
that we were able to fully understand what questions to ask and how to effectively run a
program if we ever wanted to implement or improve a program in our future careers. A unique
compromise for this project was our abilities to research something we both were passionate
about. This is a positive outcome that in our career will be beneficial in considering other
people's opinions to create a new programs that could impact peoples behaviors and their lives.
