This community-based participatory research (CBPR) project utilized
a mixed-methods survey design to identify urban (Tulsa, OK) American Indian
(AI) strengths and needs. Six hundred fi fty AIs (550 adults and 100 youth) were
surveyed regarding their attitudes and beliefs about their community. These
results were used in conjunction with other community research efforts to inform
program development, support proposals for external funding, and develop
a comprehensive service system model to be implemented in the community.
