Abstract
Relatively few health education interventions directed at preventive health behaviors and management of chronic illness among Native Americans have been reported in the literature. This article provides a selective review of health education interventions among Native Americans that address the prevention and management of chronic illnesses/conditions as well as preventive health behaviors. For each intervention included in the review, a description of its cultural relevance, sample, design, and evaluation is provided. Limitations are noted, as well as implications for research and practice.Keywords
