This book examines the discrepancies in reporting American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) deaths on state death certificates compared to AI/AN patient registration records maintained by the Indian Health Service (IHS). The author analyzes data from 1986 to 1988, revealing significant inconsistency in AI/AN race reporting, with some IHS areas showing over 28% of records with inconsistent classification. This inconsistency has serious implications for IHS mortality statistics, which are essential for planning, resource allocation, and outcome measurement. The author develops a methodology to adjust IHS mortality statistics for underreported AI/AN deaths by IHS area and age group, providing valuable insights into the accuracy and reliability of mortality data for AI/AN populations. This methodology allows for more precise health planning and evaluation, ultimately contributing to improved health outcomes for AI/AN communities.
