参考答案C
解析:Rich or poor, American Indians in cities across the country are facing startling health challenges unlike those of any other urban population.
Even as urban American Indians move up the income ladder, researchem found rates of excessive drinking and tobacco use in the community are staying the same--or sometimes even increasing.When Indian folks drink, it appears to have nothing to do with how much money they have, and that's not true for any other racial group.(9) There seems to be a sense of hopelessness, a sense that health problems like alcoholism and overweight are inevitable in the community.More than half of all American Indians and Alaska Natives in the United States live in cities.And for years, (10) Native people have been receiving health care at government-funded tribal clinics in or near the urban areas where they live.Yet rarely have medical studies focused on the population's health as compared to other city dwellers, or to illness rates among Indian people living on tribal lands.
Results and data of some studies show that ( 11 ) native people in some cities reported having more difficulty getting health care than urbanites of other backgrounds, and special attention must be paid to the health disparities for urban Indians.
There are few places urban American Indians can seek out culturally competent health care.
Providing health care to all Indians has long been part of the government's trust responsibility.( 12 ) A bill approved by the Senate would prompt new construction and modernization of health clinics on reservations and attempt to recruit more Indians into health professions.
Why do American Indians tend to drink excessively?
