Risk and Protective Factors for Mental Health among American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Older Adults in the United States.
Article in American Indian and Alaska native mental health research (Online), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Despite histories of loss and discrimination, more American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian (AI/AN/NH) people are living into old age. Risk and protective factors for AI/AN/NH Elder mental health are poorly described. Data from the 2017-2020 Identifying Our Needs (ION): A Survey of Elders needs assessment of 19,143 AI/AN/NH Elders receiving nutrition, socialization, and caregiver-assistance services through Title VI of the Older Americans Act were analyzed. We hypothesized that (1) family, cultural, and social engagement are protective factors, (2) limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) are risk factors for mental health status, and (3) status of grandparent caregiver is associated with lower mental health scores. As hypothesized, frequent engagement in traditional cultural activities was protective for mental health status. ADL/IADL limitations were the largest risk factor for poor mental health among AI/AN/NH Elders, while engagement in social activity was the strongest protective factor. Additionally, the status of a grandparent as a primary caregiver for their grandchildren was associated with poorer mental health. Indigenous-serving programs need expanded funding to support both cultural and personal/family services to the growing population of AI/AN/NH Elders in the United States.
