Healthy Brain Initiative: Road Map for Indian Country

• Description:
  This landmark document — the Healthy Brain Initiative’s Road Map for Indian Country — is the first-ever public health guide focused on dementia in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. It is intended as a tool for leaders of the 573 federally recognized Indian tribes, as well as state-recognized tribes, to engage their communities in addressing this important issue. These leaders include tribal officials, tribal health and aging services professionals, and regional tribal health organizational leaders. This Road Map may also be helpful to administrators in the Indian Health Service and state offices of health equity and minority health.
  
  Development of the Road Map for Indian Country was supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Alzheimer’s Association, and other Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) national partners. The Road Map can help tribal community leaders understand how dementia and associated caregiving is affecting their community and then consider what approaches, including public health strategies, make sense to pursue.
  
  This Road Map offers eight public health strategies for AI/AN leaders to consider as part of a broad response to dementia. These strategies are based on input from experts, practitioners, tribal health directors, and leaders in Indian Country. They are intentionally flexible, designed to be adapted to a wide array of local priorities. Tailoring and innovation by AI/AN communities is expected and strongly encouraged.
