OBJECTIVES: This exploratory study examined pain management practices among American Indians and Alaska Natives in the service area of a rural tribal clinic in Southern California. METHODS: Researchers invited 325 individuals to complete an anonymous survey in clinic waiting rooms and tribal gatherings. Analysis of the 295 eligible responses included calculating frequencies and conducting multiple logistic regressions and a Mantel-Haenszel analysis. RESULTS: Among respondents in this study, being male, being younger, and having less education were strong predictors for riskier methods for managing pain. CONCLUSIONS: Understanding the methods individuals use to manage pain in a rural setting constitutes a steppingstone to developing strategies for reducing and preventing misuse and abuse of prescription medications and other drugs in rural American Indian and Alaska Native communities. |
