Understanding Drowning Among People at Higher Risk
This is a Bloomberg Philanthropies-funded sub-contract (12/11/2024 – 06/30/2025) with the CDC Foundation and in partnership with the CDC, which aims to study the reasons why American Indians and Alaska Natives have much higher rates of drowning compared to the national average. Data will be collected through four community focus groups in each of three geographic areas which have the highest rates of water safety issues: the Bristol Bay Region of Alaska, Northeast Arizona, and the State of Oklahoma. Analysis of the data will lead to recommendations to both the tribal communities and the CDC Foundation. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Myra Parker myrap@uw.edu.
