Indigenous Solutions in Public Health: Using Research, Practice, & Theory to Build Resilient Communities

142nd APHA Annual Meeting and Exposition (November 15 - November 19, 2014): http://www.apha.org/events-and-meetings/annual
Tuesday, November 18, 2014: 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Poster
American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians experience a number of health disparities when compared to the larger U.S. population. With a growing Indigenous population, it is crucial to address differences in population health through a variety of mechanisms in order to close gaps in our health care system for Indigenous peoples. This poster session will examine various public health approaches taken to reduce health disparities that are culturally appropriate and assist in building a base for Indigenous solutions that will lead to resilient communities.
Session Objectives: 1. Identify key public health issues among the American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian populations. 2. Describe Indigenous solutions to public health issues & disparities for Indigenous populations and how they can be used in research and practice. 3. Explain the importance of incorporating culture in planning and implementation of programs and interventions for Indigenous populations.
