Abstract:

This report briefly summarizes findings and recommendations from SPRC’s exploration of suicide surveillance among AI/AN communities across the country. Each section describes challenges, provides strategies, lists resources, and highlights community examples as available.

Surveillance systems that gather data on AI/AN populations may be housed within tribal or non-tribal government agencies, clinics, schools, and/ or nonprofit organizations. These systems may cover individual communities, tribal consortiums or networks, counties, or regions
