Urban Indian Health Institute

Many of the health disparities analyses accomplished by Urban Indian Health Institute have focused on those areas that currently have services provided by a Title V-funded urban Indian health organization (UIHO). There are other cities in the country with significant American Indian/Alaska Native populations who do not have access to such services but who potentially could benefit from them. This project will identify some areas that potentially could sustain a new Indian Health Service-sponsored urban health organization, and additionally will assess some key social and health issues of American Indian/Alaska Natives in those areas.
