Abstract:
This source discusses how American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian (AI/AN/NH) communities face significant health disparities compared to the general United States population. Specifically, Elders manage a high burden of chronic conditions and report the greatest percentage of falls (34.2%) of all races and ethnicities. In an effort to address these disparities, some organizations serving AI/AN/NH Elders have implemented evidence-based health promotion programs in the community to empower individuals to manage chronic conditions and prevent falls.
