Background and Brief Description
Every year, approximately 1.1 million
Americans have a first or recurrent heart
attack/myocardial infarction (MI) and
about one third of these will be fatal.
Early recognition of MI by both the
victim and bystanders followed by
prompt cardiac emergency and
advanced care has a direct effect on
patient outcomes (heart damage,
morbidity and mortality): the shorter the
delay to treatment, the better the
outcomes. Results of a recent Behavioral
Risk Factor Survey (BRFSS) survey
showed that public recognition of major
MI symptoms and the need for
immediate action by calling 9–1–1 was
poor and that there is a need for
increased public health efforts. Patient
delay accounts for most of the lag in
treatment.
Data from the National MI Registry
show that the greatest disparity for
delay in treatment exists among the
racial and ethnic groups of American
Indian/Alaskan Native group. The
NATIVE study shows that rural
American Indians presenting with acute
MI have marked delays in time to
treatment (12% of patients waited
between 12–24 hours and 23% waited
more than 24 hours to present) thus,
limiting treatment options; the primary
cause of the delay was due to patient
misunderstandings about the symptoms
of MI.
The project will contribute to our
understanding of AI/AN populations
and their perceptions of and
misconceptions about MI and the need
for immediate treatment. Information
gained from this project will provide the
details needed to tailor message(s) for
this population. The agency will
develop culturally-tailored messages for
native populations that will contribute
to the existing National Heart Attack
program (NHLBI) ‘‘Act in Time’’
messages.
There will be a minimum of 84 key
informant interviews and 16 persons in
the two focus groups. The key
informants will consist of healthcare
providers, community leader, and
persons who have had an MI. Key
informants will be identified for
interviews through a clustered,
multistate snowball sampling technique.
In recognition of the tribal diversity;
study participants will represent three
AI/AN regions of the U.S.: Great Plains
identified by the Aberdeen Area Indian
Health Service area, the South West
distinct to the Phoenix, Albuquerque
and Tucson areas and Alaskan Natives.
Interview participants will have
established relationships with tribes or
