| dc.description.abstract | Objectives: Global environmental changes not only impact the physical environment but the health and well-being of people on earth. Emerging research demonstrates how Indigenous peoples' physical and behavioural health is disproportionately affected by changes to their ecosystems in combination with pre-existing social and economic inequities. This article introduces a conceptual model to enhance our understanding of environmental change and its impact on Indigenous behavioural health and well-being. Study design: Using an Indigenous theoretical lens, this article presents a review of existing theoretical frameworks applied to environmental changes and empirical studies with Indigenous populations. Method(s): The conceptual model joins elements from the indigenist stress-coping model from the field of social work with the exposure pathway model from the field of public health. Result(s): The interdisciplinary model joins elements from the indigenist stress-coping model with the exposure pathway model to highlight Indigenous-specific sensitivities and cultural buffers that are particular to the impacts of environmental change among Indigenous peoples. Conclusion(s): Implications for public health and social work policy, practice and research with Indigenous communities are discussed.Copyright © 2018 The Royal Society for Public Health | |
