Cancer-related depression among Southwest American Indian survivors: a qualitative study Rey Paolo Ernesto J. Roca III1, Wendie Robbins1, Felicia Schanche Hodge1,2, https://www.academia.edu/3071-0324/2/3/10.20935/AcadPHealth8402?email_action=download Introduction: Depression is common among cancer survivors and may disrupt sleep, appetite, and daily functioning. American Indian and Alaska Native populations experience disproportionate cancer incidence and mortality for several cancers, including cervical, liver, and stomach cancer. These disparities are shaped by well-documented structural barriers, including limited access to quality care and a shortage of culturally responsive mental health services in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Limited research has examined how Indigenous cancer survivors understand and respond to depression within the context of cancer survivorship. https://www.academia.edu/3071-0324/2/3/10.20935/AcadPHealth8402 Long sleep duration and mortality among U.S. cancer survivors: NHIS-NDI linkage Tolulope Adebile, Purbasha Biswas, Temitayo Paul, Olamide Asifat, Xinyan Zhang, Jian Zhang, Lili Yu Volume 2, Issue 3 https://www.academia.edu/journals/academia-global-and-public-health/articles?source=journal-top-nav
