Tribal Injury Prevention Program

The long term goal of the AAIHB and AASTEC 10-year injury prevention program is to reduce the burden of unintentional injuries related to older adult falls and motor vehicle crashes among American Indian communities in our service area. With an emphasis upon approaches that weave together evidence-based strategies at the community, policy, system and environmental levels increasing the ability of tribes to address their injury problems, advancing the health and wellness of the AI/AN population throughout our service area.
