Paragraph
Paragraph text
Many of those poor health outcomes are influenced by modifiable risk factors, such as drug abuse, poor nutrition and alcoholism, which have worryingly increased within indigenous communities. The increase in risk factors has been identified as being strongly connected with the historical colonization and dispossession of indigenous peoples, which has resulted in the fragmentation of their social, cultural, economic and political institutions.
