Grant Overview

American Samoa faces significant health disparities, particularly in the area of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The American Samoa Department of Health reports that NCDs account for 70% of deaths in the territory, with prevalence rates for diabetes and hypertension significantly higher than national averages. Unlike neighboring Pacific Island territories, American Samoa's unique geography and limited healthcare infrastructure require a tailored approach to addressing these disparities.

American Samoa's Health Disparities Landscape

The territory's health disparities are further exacerbated by limited access to healthcare services, particularly in rural areas. Eligible applicants include nonprofit research institutions, universities, and affiliated investigators with experience working in Pacific Islander communities. The American Samoa Department of Health prioritizes applications that focus on NCD prevention and control, and that demonstrate a clear understanding of the territory's health disparities.

Study Design in American Samoa: Funding will support a comprehensive study on health disparities affecting Pacific Islander populations in American Samoa. The study will inform policy and programmatic interventions to address these disparities, with a focus on NCD prevention and control. Successful applicants will demonstrate a clear understanding of American Samoa's health disparities and a commitment to addressing these disparities through research and intervention.

Informing Policy and Programmatic Interventions in American Samoa

The study will provide critical data and insights to inform policy and programmatic interventions in American Samoa. This includes developing and testing NCD prevention and control programs, improving healthcare provider training and capacity, and enhancing community engagement. By prioritizing evidence-based interventions and community partnership, American Samoa can begin to address its health disparities and improve health outcomes for its residents.
