Few studies have focused on off-reserve Indigenous children and families. This nationally representative, cross-sectional study (data collected from 2006 to 2007) examined Indigenous- and non-Indigenous-specific determinants associated with positive socioemotional and behavioral well-being among First Nations children living off-reserve in Canada. The parents or other caregivers of 2990 two-to-five-year-old children (M = 3.65; 50.6% male) reported on their children's socioemotional and behavioral well-being and a range of child, parent, and housing characteristics. Being taught an Indigenous culture, greater community cohesion, caregiver nurturance, good parental/other caregiver health, and fewer household members were associated with better socioemotional and behavioral well-being. These results highlight the importance of leveraging Indigenous-specific determinants and acknowledging non-Indigenous-specific factors, to promote the well-being of First Nations children living off-reserve.

生活在加拿大保留地外的原住民儿童的社会情感和行为健康的决定因素：一项横断面研究


很少有研究关注非保留地的土著儿童和家庭。这项具有全国代表性的横断面研究（从 2006 年到 2007 年收集的数据）检查了与生活在加拿大保留地外的原住民儿童的积极社会情感和行为福祉相关的土著和非土著特定决定因素。2990 名 2 至 5 岁儿童 （M = 3.65;50.6% 为男性） 的父母或其他照顾者报告了他们孩子的社会情感和行为健康状况以及一系列儿童、父母和住房特征。被教导土著文化、更大的社区凝聚力、照顾者培养、良好的父母/其他照顾者健康以及更少的家庭成员与更好的社会情感和行为福祉相关。这些结果突出了利用土著特有的决定因素和承认非土著特有因素的重要性，以促进生活在保护区外的原住民儿童的福祉。
