P ublic Health in Indian Country Capacity Scan

Purpose


Thank you for agreeing to participate in the National Indian Health Board (NIHB) Tribal Public Health in Indian Country Capacity Scan. The information you share with the NIHB will be used to develop a report that will support and guide essential tribal public health service work in the areas of public health practice, technical support, and assessment of issues related to improving Indian health. This scan expands and builds upon a similar capacity assessment titled “2010 Tribal Public Health Profile: Exploring Public Health Capacity in Indian Country”. It will provide a more recent, comprehensive picture of the capacity of public health in Indian Country. Participation of each tribal health department in this capacity scan is critical to put forth a comprehensive picture of public health in Indian Country.  



There are a total of 129 questions about the types of public health activities occurring within the community you serve. You may enter and exit the assessment as often as necessary to complete the questionnaire accurately. The estimated time to complete the assessment is 60 minutes.  


At the end of the questionnaire, there is an opportunity to provide feedback to NIHB. Your feedback is encouraged as it will improve future assessments and scans of this nature. Given the diversity and uniqueness across tribal settings, some of the questions may not be worded in a manner that reflects the work that is occurring at your site. If this is the case, please feel free to use the text box at the end of the questionnaire to provide relevant information related to the tribal community you serve.    


 All responses will be kept secure, and results will be reported only in aggregate form. Data from this scan will be analyzed and published in a national-level report and made available on NIHB’s website.  NIHB will report the findings of this scan from a national perspective; however, your tribal health entity will have access to your own data, which will allow you to compare your results to a national aggregate, and perhaps regionally, if you choose to share your data in your area.


PLEASE COMPLETE AND SUBMIT ALL OF YOUR RESPONSES BY [DATE].  




 


 

This questionnaire falls under the work of a cooperative agreement between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Indian Health Board. Through this agreement, the intent of this questionnaire is to inform tribal leaders and communities, and federal agencies on the overall scope of public health in Indian Country.


Your participation in this assessment is voluntary and you can stop the interview at any time. All information will be shared and reported in aggregate form.


If you have any questions, would like assistance, or would like to complete the scan over the phone, please contact Stephen Valliere at [email protected] or 202-507-4082.  


Participants and other stakeholders may access the results at www.nihb.org, once data collection and analysis are completed.
