How are Inuit chosen to take part in the survey?
In each community, a select number of Inuit of different ages will be asked to take part in the Qanuippitaa? National Inuit Health Survey (QNIHS). Inuit will be chosen randomly from the NTI Inuit Enrolment List broken down by communities.
For the survey results to accurately represent Inuit in the region, only those randomly chosen can participate. Participation is not open to anyone.
While participation in the survey is entirely voluntary, by participating, when selected, you help to tell meaningful Inuit stories of our health and wellbeing and that means future programs and policies impacting Inuit will more accurately reflect Inuit needs and priorities.
The QNIHS will take place in Nunavut every five years. This means that while you may not be eligible for participation in the current 2024 survey, you may be selected to participate in future years.
