NIHB Releases 2024 Tribal Prenatal-to-Three Policy Agenda

The National Indian Health Board is excited to announce the release of the 2024 Tribal Prenatal-to-Three Policy Agenda. This document aims to identify the most impactful policy levers to support the health and wellbeing of Tribal families, focused on the earliest years of life. This brief highlights both the opportunities and complexities that arise within the unique context of Tribal communities. The information presented is the sum of a three-year project supported by the Pritzker Children’s Initiative, wherein NIHB conducted thorough research and analysis through a review of existing literature, engaging with subject matter experts through interviews and roundtable discussions, and soliciting feedback from Tribes through a series of listening sessions. The final document presents a thorough overview of cross-cutting policy challenges and solutions to best address upstream drivers of health for Tribal families and children.
