Does the surveillance system include prevalence estimates for American Indians/Alaska Natives?
No. The data sources used for diabetes surveillance do not provide an adequate sample size of this population to produce accurate and reliable estimates. However, several states, including Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Oklahoma have conducted surveys with an oversample of American Indians.
