The primary goal of this project is to provide characterizing information about the health needs of urban American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) living in the Bemidji area. This information may then be used for program planning and priority setting. The lack of data on urban AI/AN impedes the ability to raise funds to support or expand services, and to make the case to local policy-makers and legislators that AI/AN health is an important issue in urgent need of attention and investment. It is anticipated that approximately 2,400 interviews (400 at each of six urban sites) will be conducted either by telephone or in person. The six urban sites will include the five urban Indian health organizations in the Bemidji area (Chicago, Minneapolis, Green Bay, Milwaukee and Detroit) as well as Grand Rapids, Michigan.
