Communicable Diseases Project

The aim of this project is to identify and then assess the burden of communicable diseases that affect urban American Indians and Alaska Natives. Multiple resources will be used to determine those infectious diseases most impacting our population. Source of data related to these issues will then be explored, both to attempt to quantify the burden of disease and to highlight gaps and limitations in the available data.
