Alaska Native Mortality Update: 2004-2008.
To contribute to the wellness of Alaska Native people by monitoring and reporting on health data, providing technical assistance and supporting initiatives that promote health.
Part of ANTHC’s Division of Community Health Services and one of twelve tribal epidemiology centers established by the Indian Health Service, we assist the National IHS Epidemiology Program in improving the health of Alaska Natives and American Indians. We have four core objectives: Data Sharing; Technical Assistance; Disease Prevention; and Surveillance.
We engage in a wide array of programs and projects within our core objectives. Our stakeholders include Tribal Health Organizations, the Tribal Health System, other national epidemiology centers, State and Federal agencies, and more. Learn about our projects by clicking below.
We have compiled data on a range of health indicators. These data provide an overview of the health status of the Alaska Native population.
The Alaska Native Tumor Registry has collected important cancer data since 1969 to better understand cancer prevelance among Alaska Native people.
The goal of this program is to significantly increase CRC screening across the Alaska Tribal Health System with a focus on 50-64 year olds.
Multiple grant-funded projects incorporate the health of individuals, families, and the relationships that connect them. Learn more about our initiatives here.
