Travis Brown

My name is Travis W. Brown I am an enrolled member of the Sac n Fox Tribe of Oklahoma and Kiowa, I  was born in Dallas, Texas  and attended Haskell Indian Nations University and work in Preventive Medicine as a Research Assistant.  I have had the opportunity to work with the All Nations Breath of Life stop smoking cessation program and helped start a far site in Dallas, Texas for the program. Presently I am working with Haskell Staff on a Dorm Challenge to help promote and recruit for our TCTABS an ANBL programs.  It has been a valuable learning experience here with the CAICH team, and I continue to learn more about  the research  methods used to conduct studies in indigenous communities and help promote healthy lifestyles and the necessary changes to achieve this.  Also working with different types of indigenous communities has helped me understand the dynamic changes necessary in education to promote these healthy lifestyles and programs available to the indigenous communities in helping change not just health disparities but other social disparities as well.   The experience with the CAICH team has proven to be a valuable experience in my future endeavor’s with Native American communities across North America.
