This comprehensive report is a collaborative and positive representation of the shared mission of the twelve Tribal Epidemiology Centers (TECs) to improve the health of American Indian and Alaska Native people. This publication provides updated examples of their projects, successes, challenges, and best practices in the hope that public health activities meet the needs and are culturally representative of the people they serve.
This report provides an update to the original 2013 publication and represents a collaborative effort among the national network of TECs. It builds on the first publication and shares more examples of best practices that TECs employ when working with Tribes, Tribal Organizations and Urban Indian Organizations. Our gratitude to the Tribes, Tribal organizations, Urban Indian Organizations, Tribal communities, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for assistance.
