Article Abstract
American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) adolescent and adult men experience a range of health disparities relative to their non-AIAN counterparts and AIAN women. Given the relatively limited literature on early development in tribal contexts, however, indicators of risk during early childhood specific to AIAN boys are not well-known. The current article reviews sources of strength and challenge within AIAN communities for AIAN children in general, including cultural beliefs and practices that support development, and contextual challenges related to socioeconomic and health disparities and historical trauma affecting the AIAN population as a whole. The research literature on early development is reviewed, highlighting what this literature reveals about early gender differences. The article concludes with calls to action on behalf of AIAN boys that align with each of the five tiers of R. Frieden's (2010) Public Health Pyramid.

Division of Diabetes Translation, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Background: Risks of kidney failure versus death in diabetes have not been previously quantified across a full range of kidney function. The study aim was to assess competing risks of kidney failure and death in a real-world cohort with diabetes.
Methods: Cumulative incidence functions for kidney failure and death, stratified by baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), were estimated for the diabetes population from electronic health record data at Providence and the University of California Los Angeles health systems.

Background: Digital media frequently contains positive portrayals of alcohol content, which has been shown to be associated with alcohol-related cognitions and behaviors. Because youth are heavy media consumers and have access to unsupervised, repeat viewing of media content on their personal mobile devices, it is critical to understand the frequency of encountering alcohol content in adolescents' daily lives and how adolescents engage with the content.
Objective: This paper outlines the study protocol for examining adolescents' exposure to alcohol-related content in digital media within their natural environments.
