CTEC: Improving Health Information Indian Health Services (IHS) data bases and California state health data bases both underestimate the deaths and hospitalizations of American Indians in California for different reasons. By linking IHS and state health data bases to each other, the CTEC has been able to correct the underestimations of health needs for American Indians who use Tribal Health Programs Report Series: American Indian Community Health Profiles California Community Health Profile September 2009 Disparities in Hospitalizations for American Indian and Alaska Natives Who Use Tribal Health Programs
Disparities in Serious Morbidity of American Indian and Alaska Natives Who Use Tribal Health Programs
The purpose of this report is to use state health hospitalizaton data that has been corrected for misclassification of AIAN in order to determine the extent of disparities in health status for certain chronic disease, behavior and injury-caused morbidity serious enough to warrant a hospital admission.

High death rates from injuries and poisonings have led to work with Northwest and Southwest Tribal EpiCenters to develop tool-kits with Tribal Health Programs that build on cultural traditions of the communities to enhance injury prevention efforts.
High death rates from heart disease have led to a study with the University of California San Francisco, of whether American Indians who use Tribal Health Programs in California have adequate access to life-saving cardiac procedures.
High death rates from cancer have led to a study with Northwest Tribal EpiCenter and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, on cancer care and outcomes of American Indians in California, Oregon and Washington to determine whether cultural traditions of the communities play a role in treatment effectiveness.|

CTEC is building capacity to produce and share culturally adapted Tool Kits for use by California Tribal Health Programs and their communities.
