Short Abstract:
Information and research on Urban Indian Health issues is extremely scarce. A recent study -sponsored and carried out by NCUIH- shows that in twenty years less than 150 documents were published and made available electronically. Most of these presented limited scope and focus, which is unfortunate when it comes to national policymaking. For this reason, NCUIH has supported and actively participated in the candidates selection for the Summer Indigenous Research Institute. This project -led by the John Hopkins Center for American Indian Health and supported by the National Indian Health Board (NIHB), the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI); the Indian Health Service (IHS) and NCUIH held its first set of operations in 2007.This first round, sessions focused on the Social Determinants of Health in Indigenous populations; and hosted two Urban Indian Students in its first class.
