Center publications reflect the highest standards in public health research and scholarship. Our faculty, staff and community partners submit papers to competitive journals that are thought leaders in their field. These are then rigorously reviewed by peer experts prior to approval and publishing. All publications that incorporate data specific to tribal nations are reviewed and approved first by a Tribal Internal Review Board (IRB).
