Growing Resilience in Wind River Indian Reservation (GR)
The Growing Resilience research leverages reservation-based assets of land, family, culture, and front-line tribal health organizations to develop and evaluate home food gardens as a family-based health promotion intervention to reduce disparities suffered by Native Americans in nearly every measure of health. Home gardening interventions show great promise for enabling families to improve their health, and this study aims to fulfill that promise with university and Wind River Indian Reservation partners. The investigators will develop an empowering, scalable, and sustainable family-based health promotion intervention with, by, and for Native American families and conduct the first randomized controlled trial to assess the health impacts of home gardens.

Home-Based Kidney Care in Native Americans of New Mexico (HBKC)
New Mexico American Indians are experiencing an epidemic of chronic kidney disease due primarily to the high rates of obesity and diabetes. The present study entitled Home-Based Kidney Care is designed to delay / reduce rates of end stage renal disease by early interventions in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Investigators propose to assess the safety and efficacy of conducting a full-scale study to determine if home based care delivered by a collaborative team composed of community health workers, the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Board and University of New Mexico faculty will decrease the risk for the development and the progression of CKD.
