Norwalk-like viruses (NLVs) are the most common cause of epidemic gastroenteritis in the United States, resulting in illness in approximately 23 million persons each year . Persons of all ages are affected because previous infection confers only short-term immunity. Most NLV gastroenteritis outbreaks involve foodborne or person-to-person transmission. This report presents investigations of a foodborne NLV outbreak in Alaska and person-to-person transmission in Wisconsin.
BACKGROUND: Many American Indian and Alaska Native women have lower incidence rates of breast carcinoma than other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. The rates in most areas, however, have increased in recent years. The author reviews the migration patterns and effects that might contribute to this change. METHODS: A review of the literature on migration and breast carcinoma incidence was conducted. RESULTS: Migration significantly impacts on breast carcinoma incidence in all groups of women studied. CONCLUSIONS: Research must be designed that will explore the components of host, life-styles, and environment on breast carcinoma rates in American Indian and Alaska Native women to elucidate mechanisms of breast carcinoma etiology.
BACKGROUND: This article presents an overview of urban-dwelling American Indians and Alaska Natives, including a summary of data issues and a brief overview of historical and related social changes resulting in migration from reservations to urban areas. METHODS: A literature search was performed and documented focus groups were held; in addition, Native Sisters' field records from Los Angeles, California, and Denver, Colorado, were reviewed. RESULTS: Urban Indian communities are intertribal and represent over half of the Native American population in the U.S., yet they lack access to sufficient health services. Urban Indian clinics are greatly underfunded. CONCLUSIONS: A greater proportion of funding needs to be allocated to community-driven, culturally respectful, multiyear behavioral research to improve the screening, treatment, and survival of American Indian women with breast carcinoma.
