In the course of this work we have partnered with major national First Nations, Métis and Inuit organizations, including Assembly of First Nations, Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, MétisNational Council, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, and Native Women’s Association of Canada. We have worked with, or are currently linked to, Nechi Institute, Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network (CAAN), Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay, Native Counselling Services of Alberta, Tlicho Community Services Board, The National Aboriginal Circle against Family Violence, Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project, and First Nations Child & Family Caring Society of Canada.
Although there is a wide range of relationships, some very new and others quite mature, community-led research and capacity building are at the core of these joint efforts.
A special collection of articles on CIET's work with First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada is published in the Summer 2008 issue of Pimatisiwin: A Journal of Indigenous and Aboriginal Community Health.
To help build health research capacities among the Inuit in northern Canada, CIET has helped establish an Inuit Institute for Research and Planning, starting in 2008.
Local Public Health Infrastructure Development (LoPHID)
From 1998 through 2000, CIET worked on Health Canada’s LoPHID project in five health regions in the Atlantic Provinces (Labrador, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia Northern Region, Nova Scotia Eastern Region, Prince Edward Island). The aim of LoPHID was to increase local capacity to plan strategically, obtain local evidence and put it to work for better health. The partner health regions focused on a variety of public health issues, including perinatal care, youth resiliency, breastfeeding and heart health. Public health nurses who participated in LoPHID received substantial additional training and four of them obtained master’s degrees in epidemiology through CIET. |
