By the Numbers: Integrating Culture, Context, & Data to Improve Indigenous Health
Monday, November 17, 2014: 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Oral
As American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian populations work toward implementation of culturally relevant and appropriate health education strategies, interventions, and programs, it is essential that we examine successful strategies employed in data collection and evaluation across public health topics, programs, and research. This session will provide a cross-section of public health issues facing Indigenous communities and identify culturally appropriate and relevant strategies that have been used to examine select public health topics. Planning, implementation, adaptation and evaluation of programs will be discussed and the audience will be provided a brief overview of each health topic area addressed.
Session Objectives: 1. Discuss the role of culture and how it plays an important part in the prevention of disease, health promotion strategies, and data collection within Indigenous communities.
2. Discuss the planning and implementation of culturally appropriate health education strategies, interventions, and programs for Indigenous populations.
