College of Professional Studies

Humboldt County, California is comprised of Indigenous tribal lands. The county has no residential substance use treatment program to meet the needs of the Indigenous Community. The purpose of this project is to implement Indigenous practices within the residential substance use treatment program. The following healing activities will be incorporated into the treatment program, both on and off-site. Red Roads will be offered to individuals once a week on site. Gender appropriate talking circles while beading will be offered on-site weekly. Individuals will have the opportunity to sweat twice a month, off-site.

Increase Cervical Cancer Screening Participation in a Rural FQHC

College of Professional Studies

Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer and typically caused by human papillomaviruses (HPV). The American Cancer Society’s preferred screening method is HPV testing, which is detectable in the vagina. The FDA has not approved this test, but some private labs offer this screening with patients collecting their own vaginal swab. The goal is to increase participation in CC screening in patients who decline traditional testing. Most CC cases are in patients who are not up to date on screening frequency or never received screening before. If positive on self-swab, patients are more likely to follow up, receiving the care they would never have received if not given this option.

Increasing Chiropractic Prevalence in Black Communities

McKenna Bartlett, School of Applied Health Undergraduate Student

College of Professional Studies

This paper aims to analyze the significant disparities in chiropractic care for Black communities in the United States. Considering there is a substantial difference in the quality of care for Black Americans, it is imperative to be aware of the implications this can have on a community and their trust in healthcare systems. Some of these disparities discussed in this analysis consist of historical segregation, overprescribing opioids for chronic lower back pain, and overall lack of access to care. Efforts to improve care are discussed, such as improving doctor-patient race concordance by increasing the number of Black chiropractic students.

The researcher believes that using self-determination theories of autonomy, competence and relatedness will intrinsically and extrinsically motivate the study participant to achieve a predetermined goal. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of SDT on the number of jumps completed with a jump rope with a student diagnosed with phonological processing and visual motor coordination deficits within a general education class. The participant displayed incremental improvements in Intervention Phases 3, 4 and 5 but did not reach their goal during any of the five intervention phases.

Indigenous DNA: The Trauma Built Into It

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

Purpose: To look at how trauma is passed down through Indigenous peoples’ generations and cross examine how they really still dealing with problems from colonization. Problem: Many indigenous people are experiencing the same oppression from settler colonialism. It is affecting the youth in their level of self esteem resulting in low grades or not making it to college. Literature review: Native American DNA by Kim TallBear is a book about how Native American DNA hold generational trauma, how it got to be there and why it is still persisting today.

Indigenous Health and Wellness

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

Indigenous peoples have always had a balanced nutritional diet. In my poster, I want to dive into the connection between Diabetes and its connection to Indigenous people. Modern day foods are nothing comparable to the cultivated food and resources the indigenous people thrived on. I feel that because of this epidemic, Indigenous people are more susceptible to having diabetes through their bodies not recognizing “modern day food” as real food. Due to the high concentrations of sugar and fatty foods today, this has created a wave of health issues for Indigenous peoples. More simply, their bodies struggle to process the unnecessary garbage that we choose to put in our bodies daily.
