Abstract | Providing high quality, culturally appropriate early childhood services across the prenatal to age 5 continuum is a critical policy and programmatic issue in the United States, notably among the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population. To best support AI/AN children and families, better data will help document their needs for early childhood services, the services currently available to address these needs, and how local communities identify needs for services. These data are prerequisites for conducting an accurate national assessment of the unmet need for early childhood services in tribal communities. This report sets the framework for such a needs assessment and outlines three design options that, if conducted, would support the implementation of an AI/AN early childhood needs assessment. The report begins with a description of the framework underlying each design topic: the population of interest and the definition of early childhood needs, services, and indicators, followed by details on each of the three design topics. Each chapter addresses the key research questions for the design topic, the population of interest, measurement topics to consider when addressing the research questions, and data sources, including primary data collection or existing data sources available for secondary analysis. The report concludes with a summary of each design topic and future considerations. (ERIC). |
