This expansion may have provided an opportunity for more American Indian and Alaska Native (AI\/AN) coal miners to participate in screening, since many surface coal mines are located near AI\/AN communities and may employ AI\/AN miners. Therefore we sought to better understand the respiratory health of AI\/AN coal miners by characterizing prevalence of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), progressive massive fibrosis (PMF), and abnormal lung function in this population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Descriptive analysis of 1405 chest radiographs and 627 spirometry test results for AI\/AN miners who participated in the Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP) during 2014\u20132019 was conducted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most AI\/AN miners (0\u201325+ years of tenure) were western United States residents (82.3%) and active surface miners (76.9%) with no underground tenure. Among miners with at least 10 years of tenure, prevalence of CWP was 3.0%, and of PMF was 0.3%. Lung function abnormalities were seen in 9.0% with primarily restrictive patterns.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of CWP, PMF, and lung function abnormality among active and former AI\/AN coal miners was higher than seen in a larger CWHSP study of active western miners working primarily underground with 10+ years of tenure. Interventions that eliminate or control coal mine dust exposure, identify miners with CWP early, and limit respiratory disease progression and complications remain vital for eliminating the preventable adverse health effects of coal mining. Comprehensive demographic data on the coal mining workforce are needed to improve CWHSP participation assessment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.23324","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,15]],"date-time":"2022-01-15T03:58:20Z","timestamp":1642219100000},"page":"162-165","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Respiratory health of American Indian and Alaska Native coal miners participating in the Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program, 2014\u20132019"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6710-2015","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Noemi B.","family":"Hall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Surveillance Branch, Respiratory Health Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morgantown West Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maya J.","family":"Nye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surveillance Branch, Respiratory Health Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morgantown West Virginia USA"},{"name":"Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH)\/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Public Health Fellow Morgantown West Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David J.","family":"Blackley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surveillance Branch, Respiratory Health Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morgantown West Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Scott Laney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surveillance Branch, Respiratory Health Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morgantown West Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacek M.","family":"Mazurek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surveillance Branch, Respiratory Health Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morgantown West Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8050-8407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cara N.","family":"Halldin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surveillance Branch, Respiratory Health Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morgantown West Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40572-019-00237-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.22727"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JOM.0000000000001443"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","unstructured":"U.S. Census BureauACS 1\u2010year estimates\u2014Public Use Microdata Sample 2014\u20132019. 2020.
