Volunteers for the study are asked to participate in two laboratory sessions. In the first laboratory session, volunteers are asked to provide a blood sample which will be used to measure factors related to health. Participants also complete questionnaires related to demographic and health-related information and undergo evaluations of their body composition. In the second laboratory visit, participants are asked to have cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and inflammatory activity measured during a brief period of rest and during a short challenging psychological task. Participants will also complete questionnaires. The study is designed to examine the associations between experiences such as trauma and resiliency with changes in bodily systems during a challenge and current health.
This cross-sectional study will examine the association between factors of resiliency and trauma with physiological (cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, inflammatory) responses to acute stress and current mental and physical health. Study volunteers will include individuals who identify as American Indian and currently live on and near the Blackfeet Reservation. Study volunteers will be asked to provide information that will be used to measure: correlates of cardiometabolic and mental health, acute psychological stress, arterial stiffness. Results of the study will help increase knowledge of cardiometabolic and mental health in the context of past and ongoing trauma and resiliency.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task | Experimental | Volunteers are presented with an audio playing of single digit numbers between 1 and 9. They are instructed to add the number with the number previously presented and say the answer out loud. Volunteers are told their performance is being scored by research assistants. Volunteers are also instructed to look at themselves in a mirror while partaking in the task. Volunteers are informed they can discontinue at any time. Volunteers complete brief questionnaires before and after the task to asses their perceptions of stress, arousal, and anxiety. |

| Acute psychological stress task (Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task) | Behavioral | Volunteers will complete a 4-minute Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task which is a standardized laboratory challenge that is widely used to monitor cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and inflammatory responses in the laboratory. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in systolic blood pressure activity from baseline to task | The mean systolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be subtracted from the mean of the task period. | 10 minute resting baseline mean will be subtracted from the 4 minute task period for each value |
| Changes in diastolic blood pressure activity from baseline to task | The mean diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be subtracted from the mean of the task period. | 10 minute resting baseline mean will be subtracted from the 4 minute task period for each value |
| Changes in heart rate activity from baseline to task | The mean heart rate (bpm) will be subtracted from the mean of the task period. | 10 minute resting baseline mean will be subtracted from the 4 minute task period for each value |
| Change in cortisol from baseline to task | Salivary samples will be taken to measure cortisol (nmol/L) the mean from the peak stress period will be subtracted from the baseline | Baseline will be subtracted from the peak (15 minutes after task onset, 35 minute task onset) |
| Changes in IL-6 from baseline to task | IL-6 (pg/mL) measured at baseline will be subtracted from the IL-6 measured post task. | Baseline will be subtracted from the level 30 minutes after task onset. |
| Pulse wave velocity | Pulse wave velocity in m/s will be assessed by dual impedance cardiography as a non-invasive indicator of arterial stiffness. This measure will be derived from the 5 minute baseline period. |

The study is designed to examine cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and inflammatory responses to a brief (4 minutes) mental arithmetic task (i.e., a psychological challenge) in the laboratory. Cardiovascular activity will be measured during a resting baseline period (10 minutes) and during the task (4 minutes). Participants will provide salivary samples before the task and after the task (~20-90 minutes) which will be used to assess neuroendocrine (i.e., cortisol) and inflammatory (i.e., IL-6). Cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and inflammatory responses will be examined in relation to other study outcomes.
