About

    American Indian health is a research area that focuses on the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples in the United States. This field of study examines the various social, economic, and environmental factors that impact the health outcomes of American Indian communities, including access to healthcare, chronic disease prevalence, mental health issues, substance abuse, and cultural factors. Researchers in this field work to identify disparities in health outcomes between American Indians and other ethnic groups, as well as to develop culturally sensitive interventions and programs to address these disparities. Additionally, researchers in this area often collaborate with tribal communities to conduct research and implement interventions that prioritize Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and values. Overall, the goal of American Indian health research is to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples and address the systemic inequalities that contribute to health disparities in these communities.
