Research can provide vital information about a community including the prevalence and causes of diseases. Data collection, tests, analysis and surveys help zero in on solutions as well as problems. Unless studies specifically focus on Native Americans, research sample sizes are often too small to provide useful conclusions. A growing number of Native researchers are working to fill that gap by studies in their own communities in culturally appropriate ways.
