Knowledge Center
JHCIH has become a leader in health communications materials by working the intersection of world class research and grassroots work with Indigenous communities. Our subject experts inform evidence-based communications materials in multimedia formats, driven by the needs identified by Indigenous community members.
Our process
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, we worked with a Tribal Advisory Board (TAB) made up of community representatives from across the U.S. representing 12 different tribes and 10 organizations. The TAB directed us towards the most urgent needs and vetted materials before finalizing. Through a joint effort to distribute through the TAB network and Center social media channels, we support communities nation-wide (see “Reach” for details).
Reach
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our Health Resource Library and social media channels have become a trusted source of information. Our social media pages have reached over 1.3 million users. Our network of partners across Indian Country includes IHS facilities and tribal health programs which share resources both online and in print.
