Indians and Alaska Natives has grown rapidly over the past 20 years. These changes raise questions for the Indian Health Service and other agencies responsible for serving the American Indian population. How big is the population? What are its health care and insurance needs? This volume presents an up-to-date summary of what is known about the demography of American Indian and Alaska Native population--their age and geographic distributions, household structure, employment, and disability and disease patterns. This information is critical for health care planners who must determine the eligible population for Indian health services and the costs of providing them. The volume will also be of interest to researchers and policymakers concerned about the future characteristics and needs of the American Indian population. 606 $aUrban Indians$zNorth America$xPopulation 606 $aIndians of North America$xHealth and hygiene 606 $aIndians of North America$xEconomic conditions 606 $aIndians of North America$xMedical care 615 0$aUrban Indians$xPopulation. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHealth and hygiene. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xMedical care. 676 $a362.1/08997 701 $aSandefur$b Gary D.$f1951-$0140523 701 $aRindfuss$b Ronald R.$f1946-$01791276 701 $aCohen$b Barney$f1959-$01791277 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Population. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970409903321 996 $aChanging numbers, changing needs$94328410 997 $aUNINA
