What American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Elders Say About Evidence-Based Health Promotion Programs

Health and wellness means different things to different communities. And when it comes to American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian (AI/AN/NH) communities, who face significant health disparities compared to the general United States population, it's important to ensure we have more inclusive health education.

As we look to implement culturally appropriate community-based health promotion programs, it's important to share the results of listening sessions. This one-pager includes perspectives from 60 AI/AN/NH elders about their preferences for health education.  Learn more about what aging well means to AI/AN/NH elders, how they seek health information, and what they are looking for in evidence-based health prevention programs.
