Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Native American Psychiatric and
Mental Health Care Improvement Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration concludes the rate of serious mental illness in
American Indians and Alaska Natives is twice that of any other
race or ethnicity.
(2) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
concludes the suicide rate among American Indian and Alaska
Native youth is more than twice that of any other race or
ethnicity.
(3) The United States Surgeon General attributes high rates
of homelessness, incarceration, alcohol and drug abuse, stress,
and trauma as principal causes of mental illness in American
Indians and Alaska Natives.
(4) The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
concludes in The National Health Disparity Report, 2011, that
American Indians and Alaska Natives had worse care than Whites
in 28 measures of health care quality and access.
(5) The Indian Health Service reports that per capita
spending on personal health care of American Indians and Alaska
Natives was $2,741 in 2012--nearly two-thirds below the
national average of $7,239.
(6) The Department of Health and Human Services, Office of
Inspector General, reports that a shortage of psychiatrists at
the Indian Health Service and other tribal health facilities
significantly limits mental health access to American Indians
and Alaska Natives.
(7) The One Sky Center, the American Indian/Alaska Native
National Resource Center for Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services, identifies 20 psychiatrists currently practicing in
Indian country (out of approximately 60,000 psychiatrists
practicing nationwide), and 2 Native American psychiatrists
currently practicing in Indian country (out of 13 practicing
nationwide).
(8) According to the American Psychiatric Association,
psychiatric physicians practicing in American Indian and Alaska
Native population groups often face cultural competency
challenges, professional isolation, high demand for medical and
mental health services, relatively low compensation, and high
burnout rates.
(9) A legislative initiative is warranted to create a
nationally-replicable workforce model that identifies and
incorporates best practices for recruiting, training,
deploying, and professionally supporting Native American
psychiatric physicians or non-Native American psychiatric
physicians (or both), who are fully integrated into existing
medical, mental, and behavioral health systems in Indian health
programs.
