Abstract
American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have increasing rates of chronic diseases and other health problems that have known preventable risk factors. Yet AI/AN health professionals and researchers are few in number. Because of past negative experiences with outside researchers, AI/AN communities do not always view health research favorably. This article reviews health and related research issues as well as to recommend improving interaction among community and all researchers.Keywords
