View Award Description

Supporting Tribal Public Health Capacity in Coronavirus Preparedness and Response - 2020 - The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians (MBCI), a federally recognized tribe located in rural east central Mississippi, is requesting funds from the CDC to assist in Tribal response to COVID-19. MBCI urgently needs more Patient/Contact Tracers to follow up on individuals who have tested as positive for COVID-19. PURPOSE: Funding MBCI's application for this project will address the primary public health problem experienced by MBCI by providing the resources needed to hire 3 contact tracers and to provide CDC training on Contact Training to these new hires as well as to two previously hired contact tracers. Having all Contact Tracers functioning to reduce the spread of COVID-19 will increase the number of individual encounters and countermeasures implemented to properly use quarantine and isolation, to reduce infection in the community and to share educational information and raise the public awareness of COVID-19 prevention, identification and mitigation. The information and data collected during Contact Tracers' activities will be reported to the Choctaw Health Center administration and communicated to Tribal Leaders in an effort to assist Tribal Leaders in making informed, data-driven decisions which are critical to the return of MBCI to pre-emergency functioning. Ultimately, funding of MBCI's application for the Supporting Tribal Public Health Capacity in Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Project will reduce the number of individuals (Tribal and non-Tribal) who test positive for COVID-19 on the Tribal Reservation and will save lives. OUTCOMES: The MBCI public health system, overseen by the Choctaw Health Center, expects to achieve the following outcomes by the end of the one year project period: Outcome 1 - To increase the number of staff supporting the MBCI contact tracing function; Outcome 2 - To provide appropriate Contact Tracing training for all MBCI Contact Tracers and other staff, as needed; Outcome 3 - To increase the number of encounters and countermeasures implemented for individuals who test positive for COVID-19; Outcome 4 - To decrease the number of MBCI individuals found to test positive for COVID-19; Outcome 5 - To decrease the number of MBCI individuals who die from COVID-19; and, Outcome 6 - To increase the amount of public health surveillance information and data collected by Contact Tracers and provided back to the Choctaw Health Center Administration and Tribal Leadership to assist in their making data-informed Tribal policy decisions. Strategies to be utilized by MBCI will center on four categories of public health response activities: Health Information Technology; Communications; Countermeasures and Mitigation, and; Surveillance and Epidemiology. In the First Month, the key activity will be hiring 3 Contact Tracers. In the Second Month, the key activity will be providing Contact Tracing training to all MBCI Contact Tracers. Beginning with the Third Month, Contact Tracers will engage in encounters with Tribal Members who have tested positive for COVID-19 or those who are potentially infected. Also beginning with the Third Month, Contact Tracers will begin collecting and reporting information and data which will be analyzed by the Choctaw Health Center Administration and shared with Tribal Leaders to assist them in making data-informed decisions. Activities begun in the Third Month will continue throughout the rest of the 12-month project period.
