Native American Child Health

American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and adolescents face considerable hurdles from birth that stem from historical trauma, health inequities, socioeconomic barriers, and racism. Pediatricians can support the health and well-being of these children and adolescents and provide excellent patient care by using programs and interventions that incorporate their culture, tradition, and practices. This webpage includes a collection of policy and resources to help care for AI/AN youth, such as webinars from the Indigenous Health Special Interest Group, Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, and Indian Health Service.
