In order to address health and public health disparities, data is needed for all population groups including hard to reach population such as American Indians living on rural reservations. Numerous Health People 2010 indicators speak to the need for public health infrastructure. This includes public health data that is essential to provide effective public health services for data for all population groups; data for Leading Health Indicators, Health Status Indicators, and Priority Data Needs at Tribal, State, and Local levels and National Tracking of Health People 2010 objectives. Developing data for all population groups, including American Indians.
RMTEC continues to work with Montana KIDS Count, University of Montana, to develop Community Health Profiles (CHP) for each reservation in the Billing IHS Area based on county and American Indian population group census data. These data will be used to help drive decision making and health priorities.
