“…In the U.S., strategies employed by, or that can be used by tribes and others, include advocating that federal government and other entities collect and analyze data more frequently (Cross et al, 2004;DeWeaver, 2013;Freemantle et al, 2015); creating meaningful partnerships and data sharing agreements with other governments (including other tribes) and data collection entities (Cross et al, 2004;DeWeaver, 2013;Freemantle et al, 2015;Tribal Epidemiology Centers, 2013); stewarding research through tribal institutional review boards and research regulations including data sharing agreements (Cross et al, 2004;Oetzel et al, 2015;Snipp, 2016); engaging the community in defining information needs and data indicators (Cross et al, 2004;Knudson et al, 2012;Oetzel et al, 2015;Red Star Innovations, 2013); and identifying needs and planning for the effective collection, management, and use of data at the tribal level as an essential part of everyday governance (Cross et al, 2004;DeWeaver, 2013).…”
