Community-Based & Engaged Research
An interdisciplinary, mixed methods approach to developing capacity through collaboration with communities that blends Indigenous and Western ways of knowing.
I work with Indigenous communities to increase capacity to deliver community-based health programs on and off reserve. I can help your Nation, council or community to:
- Determine health information and research needs.
- Design quantitative or qualitative research to capture community health information needs.
- Build community capacity for research and data collection, analysis, write-up and dissemination
- Respect and adhere to OCAP (Ownership, Control, Access and Possession) principles.
Examples of community-based research projects include:
HONOURING VOICES – Illuminating Indigenous Women and Gender Diverse Sexual, Reproductive, and Maternal-Child Health in Federal Correctional Facilities in Canada
RECLAIMING INDIGENOUS BIRTH – To address and improve the health outcomes of Indigenous peoples by investing in Indigenous midwifery programs and funding allocation for recruitment and retention.
