Trends in Indian Health: 1997
Abstract:This publication presents tables and charts that describe the Indian Health Service (IHS) program and the health status of American Indians and Alaskan Natives who live in the IHS service area (counties on and near Federal Indian reservations). The Indians residing in the service area comprise about 60% of all Indians residing in the U.S. The tables and charts are grouped into six major categories: IHS structure, population statistics, natality and infant/maternal mortality statistics, general mortality statistics, patient care statistics, and community health statistics. Current and trend information are presented, and comparisons with other population groups are made when appropriate. Although school health is not addressed specifically, information on such topics as HIV, heart disease, diabetes, and alcoholism among Native Americans will provide useful data for those planning prevention programs among these populations. Included with the publication is the 1998 Indian Health Service Directory.
