Urban Indian Health Institute

UIHI is collaborating with the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board’s Tribal Registry Project to assess and correct the level of American Indian/Alaska Native misclassification of state cancer registries by linking the Seattle Indian Health Board patient roster, the Northwest Tribal Registry, and the Washington State Cancer Registry. While the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board has previously linked their patients with state-level registries from Washington, Oregon and Idaho in order to correct racial misclassification, this is the first time that urban American Indian/Alaska Natives will be included.

Partners: Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, the Northwest Tribal Registry Project , and the Washington State Department of Health
