American Indians are at higher risk for mental health problems than other ethnic groups in the United States (Nelson, McCoy, Stetter, & Vanderwagen, 1992). Little attention has been directed towards assessing mental health problems among urban American Indians. In response to an Indian Health Service (IHS) call for proposals, this survey addressed the mental health needs of Denver urban American Indians. The purpose of the survey was to gather data from Denver American Indian adults and adolescents as well as service providers in the Denver area who work, to one degree or the other, with members of the American Indian community. These data were to provide a general idea of the breadth of mental health and other associated problems among the Denver American Indian population
