The article offers information on the reports that aim to identify the health of American Indian and Alaska native (AI/AN) women, infants and children. The report entitled "Pregnancy Outcomes of American Indians: Contrasts Among Regions and With Other Ethnic Groups" by Dr. Greg Alexander underscores the importance of regional differences in AI/AN maternal risk factors and birth outcomes. Other reports include "American Indian Breastfeeding Attitudes and Practices in Minnesota," and "Ride Safe: A Child Passenger Safety Program for American Indian and Alaska Native Children" which add to the present fund of knowledge that relates to unacceptable health disparities and excess health risk among AI/AN.
