In
a joint project with the Kodiak Area Native Association and the
Alaska Center for Rural Health, a comprehensive community health
assessment was completed for the villages of Old Harbor and Akhiok,
on Kodiak island.
Using standard
survey methods tailored through input from the involved communities,
94 household surveys (83%) were collected and analyzed. Principle
interests were to determine unmet community health problems and
needs, and identify strategies for initiating improvements of
the well being of theses communities.
A final report
is available through the UAA Consortium Library and ICHS.
