Abstract: The Indian Health Service (IHS) goal is to raise the health status of the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people to the highest possible level by providing comprehensive health care and preventive health services. To support the IHS mission the Director's Three Initiatives were launched comprised of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HP/DP), Behavioral Health (BH) and Chronic Care (CC). The Director's Three Initiatives are linked together in their aim to reduce health disparities and improve health and wellness among the AI/AN populations through a coordinated and systematic approach to enhance: health promotion, and chronic disease and mental health prevention methods at the local, regional, and national levels. In order to provide the product/service to IHS, Tribal, and Urban (I/T/U) programs, the Director's Three Initiatives are working together to develop a centralized program database of Best/Promising Practices and Local Efforts (BPPPLE), resources, and policies. The purpose of this collection is to develop a database of BPPPLE, resources, and policies to be published on the IHS.gov website which will be a resource for program evaluation and for modeling examples of HP/DP, BH and CC projects occurring in AI/AN communities.
