Urban Indian Health Institute

The Urban Indian Health Institute has been involved with state and county health departments and other partners to improve data collection, sampling techniques and increasing response rate, which would allow for meaningful analysis of Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data for the urban American Indian/Alaska Native population. In collaboration with project partners, the Urban Indian Health Institute is working on Risk Assessment Monitoring System informational brochures, posters and a cover letter from American Indian/Alaska Native organizations to include with the survey mailing targeted at American Indian/Alaska Native women to encourage participation.
