The need for this toolkit was first identified in 2008 by the CSTE Tribal Epidemiology Subcommittee as a way to improve public health surveillance in Indian Country. The first toolkit was published in 2014. In 2023, CSTE collaborated with the Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board to update the toolkit to include current issues in Tribal public health epidemiology and provide new resources to CSTE members.

The goal remains the same: To improve the health of American Indian and Alaska Native people through epidemiology.
