{"Image DocumentName": "Community Cultures/Values", "Image ImageDescription": "Extended families. Knowledge of community infrastructure. Local, non-appointed influential people. Traditional values and teachings. Tribal communities can have added benefits in addressing local injury problems. The extended family connections in many tribal communities often make for far better understanding and awareness of local injury factors. As opposed to a big city that has a large bureaucratic structure, members of tribal communities can more readily identify those persons and agencies that can be enlisted to participate in local injury prevention measures. In addition to elected or appointed community leaders, many tribal communities contain traditionalists or/or spiritual leaders who can also influence community action in support of injury prevention initiatives. And it is the traditional values and teachings of most tribes that directly support the preservation of life and culture, which commonly supports many potential injury prevention measures. When you as a public health professional, or community member understand the values and culture of the community you work/live in, this helps you partner with the community to design and implement injury prevention projects.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
