New Report and Informational Webcast: Urban Indians and Their Health in a Changing World
The report reviews the prevalence of depression, diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the American Indian and Alaska Native population.
Published: November 01, 2007
Nearly seven out of every 10 American Indians and Alaska Natives live in or near cities, and that number is growing. This change in lifestyle has left many in dire circumstances and poor health. Unfortunately, this patient population is seemingly invisible to health care providers and federal and state policy-makers and yet face significant health care disparities.
A new report, Invisible Tribes: Urban Indians and Their Health in a Changing World, released by the Urban Indian Health Commission, a select group of leaders convened by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Seattle Indian Health Board's Urban Indian Health Institute, examines the health care issues currently facing millions of urban American Indians and Alaska Natives.
