• Are based on findings from the latest scientific research, outcomes studies, and successful experiences of diabetes programs.
• Provide IHS, Tribal, and Urban Indian health care programs with relevant, evidence-based information on caring for American Indians and Alaska Natives with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes.
• Can help diabetes care teams assess what works and what does not work, as well as eliminate duplicating effort and resources.
