Abstract

Purpose of review: This scoping literature review seeks to answer the question "What is known in the existing literature about multi-level diabetes prevention and treatment interventions for Native people living in the United States and Canada?"

Recent findings: Multi-level interventions to prevent and/or treat chronic diseases, such as diabetes, promise to help individuals who experience health disparities related to social determinants of health. As described by the socio-ecological model, such interventions mobilize support through a combination of individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and policy levels of activity. This review revealed little literature about multi-level diabetes prevention and/or treatment programs for US and Canada-based Native peoples. Ten interventions were identified; all focused on diabetes prevention; eight were specific to youth. Multi-level intervention design elements were largely individual-, school-, and community-based. Only three interventions included environmental or policy-level components.

Keywords: Alaska Native; American Indian; Diabetes prevention; Diabetes treatment; First Nations; Multi-level intervention.
