Welcome to the Tribal Epidemiology Centers Podcast. Tribal Epidemiology Centers (commonly referred to as TECs) are housed in organizations that serve American Indian/Alaska Native tribal and urban communities.
Currently, there are 12 Tribal Epidemiology Centers (TECs) across the US that are focused on improving the health of American Indians and Alaska Natives throughout the United States.
TEC: Albuquerque Area Southwest Tribal Epidemiology Center
The Albuquerque Area Southwest Tribal Epidemiology Center (AASTEC) serves the 27 American Indian Tribes, Bands, Nations and Pueblos in the Indian Health Service Albuquerque Area. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, there are approximately 104,000 American Indian/Alaska Natives in our service area, including 20 Pueblos, two Apache Nations, three Navajo Bands (not included in the IHS Navajo Area), and the Southern Ute Tribe and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in Southern Colorado.
Mission:
AAIHB was incorporated in 1980 to:
1) advocate for tribal communities in areas of health, 2) collaborate with tribal communities to address health and health education concerns, and 3) engage communities in the use of research to address community health needs.
