• Abstract:
  The American Indian population is at high risk for motor vehicle (MV) crash injury. Although preventable, a majority of these indigenous populations lack fundamental data needed to understand these events and effective countermeasures. This cross-case study sets a framework for exploring Indian Nations’ crash reporting systems in an effort to fill this information void. An inventory process and experience gained in working with four tribes produced a pragmatic approach that tribes can refine based on objectives with regard to accountability, sovereignty, and system integrity. Enormous benefits can be derived from a crash reporting system that holds essential, non-personally identifiable information. The study shows that electronically documenting MV crash event data is plausible with commitment from tribes and support from other stakeholders.
