In a joint project with Maniilaq,
Inc. and the Alaska Center for Rural Health, a comprehensive community
health assessment was completed for the communities in the Northwest
Arctic Native Association region.
Using standard survey methods tailored
through input from the involved communities, nearly 1300 household
surveys were collected and analyzed. Principle interests were
to determine community health problems and needs, and identify
strategies for initiating improvements of the well being of these
communities. Consumer satisfaction, environmental concerns and
the role of tribal governance were examined.
A final report is forthcomming and
will be available through the UAA Consortium Library and ICHS.
