Urban Indian Health Institute: 2011 Community Health Profiles

The Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI) has released the Community Health Profiles for each Urban Indian Health Organization (UIHO) service area. The interactive map provides links to all cities for which data is available. The reports examine the health of American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) living in each of the 34 UIHO service areas using the most current data available from the 2010 U.S. Census, the American Community Survey (ACS), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the U.S. Center for Health Statistics and the Air Quality System Data Mart. The Community Health Profiles are intended to provide UIHO and other key stakeholders with a picture of the health of urban Indian people. The UIHI updates these reports every two years.

The UIHI has also released the Community Health Profile: National Aggregate of Urban Indian Health Organization Service Areas (December 2011), an update to the Community Health Profile (2009). This report examines the health of American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) living in all UIHO service areas combined and presents data from the 2010 U.S. Census, the American Community Survey (ACS), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the U.S. Center for Health Statistics and the Air Quality System Data Mart. The report includes data on access to care, smoking, alcohol use, and mental health and wellness.
