Estimate media technology use in Alaska Native communities to inform the feasibility of technology-based nutrition education. A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to a random selection of ∼50% of WIC authorized representatives in remote Alaska Native communities (n=975). Media technology use, interest in media technology-based nutrition education and potential barriers were assessed. Chi-square tests were used to investigate associations between technology use, age and education. Technology use was common among respondents (n=368); usage was significantly more common among younger age groups and participants with a higher level of education. Smartphone (78.8%) and Facebook (95.8%) use was comparable to national averages, but having a computer at home (38.4%) was much less likely. Less than 50% of participants have internet access at home. Findings shed light on new opportunities for WIC and other programs to deliver nutrition education to Alaska Native People in remote communities.
