Regional Differences in Indian Health 1998–99, the companion publication to Trends in Indian Health 1998–99, provides regional information on the health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives based on data from the 12 IHS regional administrative units called Area Offices.
The tables and charts contained in the IHS Regional Differences in Indian Health describe the IHS program and the health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives residing in the IHS service area. The IHS service area consists of counties on or near Federal Indian reservations. The Indians residing in the service area comprise about 60 percent of all Indians residing in the United States. Information pertaining to the IHS structure and American Indian and Alaska Native demography and patient care are included. Current regional differences are depicted, and comparisons to the general population are made, when appropriate. Historical trend information can be found in the IHS companion publication called Trends in Indian Health 1998–99.
