The Impact of Colonization on the Prevalence of Suicide among Canadian Indigenous Youth and Young Adults: Nursing Implications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background There is a disproportionately high rate of suicide among Canadian Indigenous youth and young adults. The historical impacts of colonialism are a contributing factor to the intergenerational trauma and health disparities among Indigenous People. Incidents of suicide, attempted suicide, and suicidal ideation amongst Indigenous youth and young adults may be associated with ongoing colonialism. To understand suicide rate amongst Indigenous youth and young adults, it is necessary to review current literature on Canadian colonialism's impact on this health crisis. Objective Through the collection, examination, and integration of published literature, this integrative review aims to contribute to the current knowledge on Indigenous youth and young adults by identifying common themes regarding suicide prevalence and interventions. Methods The present integrative review used Whittemore and Knafl's (2005) framework. The electronic databases used included CINAHL, Google Scholar, and PubMed. The inclusion criteria include studies containing youth and young adults ages 9 - 24, publications in English, studies published within the last 15 years, and quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method peer-reviewed studies. Data extraction and analysis were completed on the included studies. Results Preliminary data analyses are ongoing. Presently, the literature integration suggests a correlation between colonialism and suicide amongst Indigenous youth and young adults. Conclusion The literature on this topic is limited; thus, further research is needed. Keywords Indigenous, First Nations, Native, Aboriginal, Canadian, Suicide, Colonialism

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
