TB among Aboriginal Populations in Canada: The Role of Health Care Professionals 2

Abstract [See APA Tip #5 – Center, but do not bold, flush first sentence to the left]

The persistent presence of infectious and increasingly non-infectious diseases is a major

concern among Aboriginal people of Canada. This in part can be attributed to the impact of

Aboriginal peoples’ contact with the Europeans (Houston & Houston, 2000). Tuberculosis (TB)

is an infectious disease which is far more common in the Aboriginal population than the

Canadian born non Aboriginal Canadians. Poverty and overcrowding in Aboriginal communities

are major factors accounting for higher prevalence rates of TB (Clark, Riben & Nowegesic,

2002; Waldram, Herring & Young, 2006; Levy, 2012). [See APA Tip #9 – Alpha order of first

author, not by year] [better to have no references in the abstract] The sub groups most affected

include children, youth and the elderly (Health Canada, 2012). Control programs in the past such

as the quarantine of infected Aboriginal people to sanatoriums left them with traumatic

experiences that even up to this day contributes to the reluctance in seeking treatment (Levy,

2012). In the current efforts to combat this disease in the community, health care professionals

play a crucial role. The paper concludes with a discussion of barriers still existing.

Introduction [Tip #7 do not use Introduction as a heading]

Tuberculosis (TB) has existed among humans for thousands of years. For example, the

detection of tuberculosis from fragments of the spinal column from Egyptian mummies dates

back to 2400 BCE. TB [APA Tip #14] is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M Tuberculosis) that is spreads by contact with contaminated air

droplets from infected persons (World Health Organization [WHO], 2011; New Jersey Medical

School: Global Tuberculosis Institute, 2011). [Tip # 9 alpha order of authors] TB usually affects

the lungs but can affect other organs such as the brain, intestines, and kidneys. Symptoms are

dependent on the infected site. Pulmonary TB symptoms usually manifest as chronic cough that

be associated with chest pain, haemoptysis, fatigue, weight loss, fever, and night-sweats.

(Zaman, 2010).

The widely used diagnostic test for TB is the sputum smear microscopy. It is estimated that

about one third of the world’s population is infected with M. tuberculosis. About, 8.5-9.2 million

new cases and 1.2-1.5 million deaths are reported each year. Most affected by this are the most

productive ages of the world’s population (World Health Organization, 2011). (WHO, 2011). Al

though the evidence shows a declining trend nationally, there is still a disproportionate

distribution between the general non-Aboriginal population and the Aboriginal populations. [Tip

#9] (Levy, 2012). This paper discusses the risk factors associated with the spread of TB among

Aboriginal people, particularly the social determinants of health. Moreover, it examines

strategies that have been implemented to control its spread in this population with specific focus

on the role of the health care professional (Health Canada, 2003a or b). [See APA Tip #22]

Prevalence rates [See APA Tip #4 Font Times Roman only-

See APA Tip #12, capitalize all words in 3rd level of heading]

High TB rates in Canada have been associated with Aboriginal and foreign-born

populations (Phypers, Behr, Scholten, & Ellis, 2007) [Tip #16 one Author missing] compared to

case incidence rates of TB at 30-150 times that for the Canadian-born non-aboriginal [Tip #18]

population (King, 2012). Studies show that in 2004 there where [sp] 21% cases of TB in

Aboriginal people aged 15years [Tip #10 space needed] compared to only 6% for the non-

Aboriginal Canadian. In Aboriginal Canadians aged 15-64 years, the rate was 71% as against

52% for non-Aboriginals. For ages 65 years and older, there were 42% versus 8% for Aboriginal

versus non-Aboriginal populations respectively (Phypers, Behr, Scholten, & Ellis, 2007). [See

[Indent] Canadian National Statistics [Period] [See APA Tip #13 – 3rd level heading, indent, no

capitalization except first word]

Even though, the risk of developing active TB is very low, about 1,600 cases are

identified and reported nationally each year (Health Canada, 2012). Although there has been a

decline since 1924, in 2010 Statistics Canada reported 1,577 cases (new and re-treatment) with

an incidence rate of 4.6 per 100,000. The Public Health Agency of Canada’s (PHAC, 2009)

report, showed the highest rate of TB among Aboriginal Canadians with a rate of 27.8 per

100,000 in aboriginal [Tip #18] compared to 1.0 per 100,000 in non-Aboriginal people. These

rates have been increasing since 2002 (PHAC, 2002; PHAC, 2010).[same author, only year

needed]

[Indent] Provincial Statistics [Period] [See APA Tip #13]

[See APA Tip #3 re double space only between paragraphs]

Provincial trends are quite similar to national trends but case incidence among Aboriginal

populations increase with remote and northern locations. For example Nunavut had a

disproportionately higher incidence rate of TB in 2010. This was partly explained by a TB

outbreak which reported 101 active cases with an incidence rate of 304.0 per 100,000

populations (Canadian Institute of Health, 2012; [Tip #16 not in Reference page] Health Canada,

2012). Differences also exist in the incidence rates in other segments [of] vulnerable TB

populations. For example, while foreign-born Canadians accounted for most cases in Ontario,

British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the North (Yukon, North

West Territories and Nunavut) Aboriginal peoples were most affected. In the Atlantic Provinces

cases were distributed equally between Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal populations.

TB among Aboriginal Populations in Canada: The Role of Health Care Professionals 6

Furthermore, in Newfoundland and Labrador there were no reported cases among Aboriginal

peoples (Heath Canada, 2012).

[See APA Tip #8]

Segment of the Population Most Affected

[Tip #14 best to not start a sentence with an acronym]

TB is more common in adolescents and youth, a subgroup that under normal

circumstances can overcome the disease if they were healthy (Levy, 2012). In 2010 individuals

aged 25years to 34 years were most affected accounting for 18% of the total population with an

incidence rate of 6.0 per 100,000. For people aged 75year and over the incidence rate was 9.6

per 100,000 (Health Canada, 2012). For cases reported for ages 25 to 44years the provincial

trends tend to follow national trends. However, Saskatchewan and British Columbia had most

cases from ages 0 to 24yrs and ages 75 and over respectively (Health Canada, 2012).

Literature Review [See APA Tip #4 Font; APA Tip #12 centre 1st level heading]

TB among Aboriginal people has been studied extensively. Research has addressed the

historical factors (pre-contact, initial contact and post contact) and the risk factors particularly

the social determinants of TB. This brief review synthesizes the history of TB and risk factors

including the social determinants of TB among Aboriginal people.

Historical Context

[Indent paragraph Tip#8]

History has an important role in the spread of TB among Aboriginal communities and has been

studied from pre-contact, initial contact and post-contact eras. [See APA Tip #3 one double

space only] [See APA Tip #8 avoid one sentence paragraphs]

Pre contact. [See Tip #13]

Extensive eras and prevalent health issues present in those eras influenced the health of

aboriginal people. The Pre-contact era (early 1700s), was mainly characterized by parasitic

infections and environmental hazards. Houston and Houston (2000) have argued that the

persistent presence of infectious and increasingly non-infectious disease among Aboriginal

people can be attributed in part, to impacts of Aboriginal peoples’ contact with the Europeans.

Initial Contact. [See Tip #13]

According to Waldram, Herrings and Young (2006) [See Tip #11 use et al.] tuberculosis

was identified from AD 100 to AD 1650 and socio-demographic changes exacerbated the

outbreak of infections in the fifteen century. The expansion of trade by the Hudson Bay

Company opened the sea ports and enhanced the movement of the missionaries who were

©Kent-Wilkinson, 2017

TB among Aboriginal Populations in Canada: The Role of Health Care Professionals 8

already exposed to epidemics (Waldram, et al. 2006). [See Tip #11] The initial Aboriginal

contact with fur traders and explorers led to acute infections such as colds, influenza and

smallpox (Early 1700s to 1820) (Hackett, 2005). Pepperrell et al.(year) studied the evolution of

TB using historical data and genetic studies of modern TB bacteria. They found that TB lineage

between Aboriginal and French communities was explained by the bacterial lineage DS6Quebec.

This bacterial linage was also present in Aboriginal populations in Saskatchewan, Ontario and

Alberta. The authors [Reference] attributed this to contact between these populations during the

fur trade era of 1710-1870.

[See APA Tip #3 one double space only]

Post Contact. [See Tip #13]

The era between 1870s to present has been characterized by chronic infections (i.e., tuberculosis)

and disease of lifestyle (i.e., obesity, diabetes, cancer etc.) (Hackett, 2005). It is also reported that

First Nations and Inuit communities in the 1900 were affected by smallpox and tuberculosis and

the ineffective coordination at the national level did not help address the situation (Health

Canada 2003). [2003a or 2003b See Tip #22]

Risk Factors associated with the spread of TB [Tip#13, 2nd level heading, capitalize all words]

The depletion of bison in the 1879 caused starvation among Aboriginal people whose

health implication included a weakened immune system therefore succumbing to TB. Also, the

reserve system changed the natural dwellings of Aboriginal people leading to overcrowding and

unventilated housing hence serving as a catalyst for the spread of TB (Levy, 2012). Clark et al.

(2002) attributed the high incidence of TB in Aboriginal populations to inadequate housing (i.e.

high density per unit area, degree of isolation and income levels).

©Kent-Wilkinson, 2017

TB among Aboriginal Populations in Canada: The Role of Health Care Professionals 9

Many TB patients belong to socially vulnerable groups or people at higher risk of

exposure to the disease. In Canada, risk factors for latent and active TB include: people who

have come in contact with people known or suspected with active TB disease (i.e. Family

members sharing a living space), people with a history of active TB or an X-ray indicating active

TB with inadequate treatment, Aboriginal communities with high rates of latent and active TB

disease (Health Canada, 2012). It also includes poor urban homeless people, residents of long

term and correctional facilities, health care workers and staff of long term facilities and of

correctional facilities. Active TB is associated with a weakened immune system and can be a

major risk factor or consequence from other diseases. People susceptible to active TB include:

people living with HIV and AIDs, people receiving an organ transplant (due to the use immune

suppressing drugs), people with silicosis, chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis, cancer of the

neck and head. It also includes people infected with TB for the past two years with a chest X-ray

showing sign of old TB, treatment with glucocorticoids, treatment with necrosis factor (TNF)-

alpha inhibitors (for rheumatoid arthritis), all types of diabetes, people with a body mass index

less than 20, under five year olds first infected with TB and people who smoke one or more

packs of cigarette a day (Health Canada, 2012).

It is worth mentioning that a history of BCG vaccination may result in a false-positive

reaction to the tuberculosis screening test (TST), which may complicate decisions about

prescribing treatment. The presence or size of a TST reaction in persons who have been

vaccinated with BCG does not predict whether BCG will provide any protection against TB

disease (CDC, 2011). [Write out acronym in full first time cited] In Canada, BGC vaccination

varies from province to province. For example, in Saskatchewan clinical use of BGC began in

1933 and was discontinued in 1987. However, they continued to be used in some Aboriginal

TB among Aboriginal Populations in Canada: The Role of Health Care Professionals 10

communities until was discontinued in most communities in September 2011. In Ontario, the

vaccine is currently given to infants in Sioux and Lookout Zone (Health Canada, 2012). There is

still currently, a lot of controversy regarding the use of BCG and since it is proven to be more

effective in children. Children born in Aboriginal communities where the risk is high could still

benefit from the BCG vaccine.

Government Report

The government of Canada has over the years worked with Aboriginal people in the fight

against TB. Two of such reports are discussed in this section.

Joint Committee on Communicable Disease Control

The Joint Committee on Communicable Disease Control was established in 1990 and

drafted a TB control strategy in 1993. Recommendations included: centrally organized programs

to develop, monitor, coordinate and evaluate TB control and TB treatment. The strategy also

involved the availability of resources, partnerships between TB control programs, community

health agencies and Aboriginal communities (Hoeppner and [Tip 9f] Marciniuk, 2000; PHAC,

2002).

First Nations Health Branch (FNIHB) and the Assembly of First Nations TB Elimination

Strategy

Another important document is the TB elimination strategy which was developed in 1992

through a partnership between the First Nations Health Branch (FNIHB) and the Assembly of

First Nations (#14 Acronym). This strategy set out to ultimately eliminate TB beginning with

reducing incidence rate to 1 per 100,000 people (Health Canada, 2002). [More recent reports on

TB?]

[APA Tip #3]Strategies in Aboriginal Communities

©Kent-Wilkinson, 2017

TB among Aboriginal Populations in Canada: The Role of Health Care Professionals 11

The process of detecting and adequately treating TB in vulnerable populations is

particularly challenging. However, effective strategies have been adopted to curb the spread of

TB (Ahamed, 2004). Effective TB control involves case finding of infectious people,

investigation of contact with TB and treatment (Hershfield, 1999).

The implementation of directly-observed therapy short course (DOTS) has been a

‘breakthrough’ in the control of tuberculosis (Zaman, 2010). This standard treatment has been

adopted in Canada for the treatment of TB. Current treatment involves the use of isoniazid

(INH), rifampin (RMP), pyrazinamide (PZA) and ethambutol (EMB) (Hoeppner, Ward &

Elwood, 2007). DOT [Tip #14] has a number of benefits (including reduced drug resistance and

relapse). At the same time, DOT might not be possible in every geographical location due to

resource constraints. In such situations, priority has to be given to for instance, in cases of drug

resistance. In Canada, DOT is recommended when self administered treatment fail to meet the

required standards (Hoeppner, Ward & Elwood,2007). [See APA Tip #10a, 11a]

[APA Tip #3]Implications for Healthcare and Research

Lower rates of TB from the 20th century have been attributed to improved living

conditions, public health interventions (some of which have been discussed in the control

strategy section) and effective drug treatment (PHAC, 2002). [See APA Tip #8 avoid one

sentence paragraphs]

Treatment has been one of the most effective ways to control the spread of TB but at the

same time involves some cost to governments. Estimates of TB related health care expenditure in

Canada in 2004 amounted to $74 million estimated at about $ 47,290 per active TB case per

year. Research expenditure on TB accounted for $4.5 million (6% of the total) and non-research

©Kent-Wilkinson, 2017

TB among Aboriginal Populations in Canada: The Role of Health Care Professionals 12

expenditure accounted for 6.3 million (22% of the total) (Menzies & Oxlade, 2006). [See APA

Tip #16 incomplete- Author missing] Provincial and Territorial expenditure were the highest

estimated at roughly 53 million. The Northern Territories accounted for the highest expenditure

and Atlantic provinces for the lowest (Menzies, D., & Oxlade, O., 2006). [See APA Tip #9d, 11,

et al]

TB among Aboriginal peoples has been well researched, much of this has been due to

collaborative research between non-Aboriginal researchers and Aboriginal organizations and

communities. A strength of this kind of research is the increased organizational and community

support (Boffa, King, McMullin, & Long, 2011).

Research has been crucial in the crusade against TB. Hoeppner and Marciniuk (2000)

discussed the important role of research in improving methods of diagnosis, prevention, vaccine

efficacy, and treatment of the disease (p.145). [APA Tip #10a – Quotation marks & spacing]

Role of the Health Care Professional

The [See Tip #8 need to indent] public professional’s roles in the prevention of TB include the

identification of suspected and confirmed cases as well as diagnoses and treat to protect public

safety. Additionally, through the collaboration with other specialist, they are involved with

prompt and complete reporting, effective case management, contact tracing, continuous medical

education and outreach programs to groups more susceptible to the disease. Another important

role is the provision of cultural appropriate treatment for TB patients especially marginalized

groups to remove the psychological barriers and increase adherence to treatment. According to

Stirling & Enarson [Tip #9f Use “and” outside the parenthesis; use “&” inside the parenthesis]

other roles include the coordination with HIV/AIDs programs for contact screening, planning

evaluation and implementation, community partnerships as well as analysis and dissemination of

surveillance data for local and regional scrutiny and comparison (2007). [Tip # 9c, put year with

the author – never by itself]

[Could give definition here of cultural competence and references like CNA, 2010]

Discussion

TB has proven to be a very difficult disease to eradicate in the world and complicated

even more with the advent of HIV and AIDs. There is continues ongoing research effort

especially for more efficacious vaccines and better treatments. Equally, important are policies

that address the social determinants and risk factors that fuel the spread of the disease.

Future Considerations

From the above discussion, it is clear that TB can be combated if policies address socio-

economic status and community involvement in disease management. Health research in this

area is crucial in affecting policy decisions.

Educational interventions have proven above all to empower people on health issues. The

role of the public health professional is crucial in educational campaigns including the provision

of reading materials on facts about TB in various aboriginal [Tip #18]languages. Voluntary

screening should be encouraged by the public health professional. Additionally, a tobacco

cessation program should be designed and implemented in Aboriginal communities to help

people quit smoking since it’s one of the risk factors. Funds should also be sourced externally to

implement programs that provide supplementary nutrition to the vulnerable in Aboriginal

communities. Another crucial role is the provision of culturally competent care, [references for

this and more detail should have been given in role of the health care professional] continuous

health education to remove psychological barriers. Equally important is advocating for better

©Kent-Wilkinson, 2017

TB among Aboriginal Populations in Canada: The Role of Health Care Professionals 14

policies that address the social determinants of health and other risk factors of TB. Priority

should still be given to research in vaccine development and continuous funding from

government to support TB programs.

[APA Tip #3]

[Tip #17c] Conclusion [Tip #3]TB has existed with mankind for decades but the recent HIV/AIDs pandemic creates an

urgent need for measures to curtail this infectious disease. This paper has focused on the social

determinants and other risk factors that make Aboriginal people more susceptible to TB such as

historical factors, poverty, poor housing conditions and access to health care. [Do not start a

sentence with “It”] It looked at strategies already implemented such as continuous treatment with

DOT and more effective drugs for those resistant to DOT regimens. Ongoing roles of the public

health professional include advocating for policies that reduce the risk factors as well as

educational interventions to reach out to all Aboriginal people in all geographical locations.
