Culturally Sensitive Medical Evaluations for American Indian/Alaska Native Children Experiencing Maltreatment

When working with survivors of child sexual abuse who are Indigenous, it is imperative to understand the culture and beliefs of the child and family. This document outlines the importance of providing a culturally sensitive medical evaluation for this population, taking into account their rich culture, while still delivering excellent medical care. It covers multiple areas of focus, including proper terminology to use, considerations for the CAC regarding Tribal MOUs, healthcare disparities and barriers to care this population faces, and how to provide a culturally appropriate and safe environment to best serve these children and families.
