What role will Inuit and our communities play in the survey?
Because the QNIHS Nunavut is designed, conducted and owned by Inuit, Inuit will lead all aspects of the survey. Nunavut has a steering committee in place to ensure Inuit engagement and participation during the entire survey process. For example: Inuit are engaged and will continue to be engaged to identify our health data and research priorities; local leaders such as mayors will be engaged to collaborate and promote the survey; local people will be hired to act as interviewers, interpreters and logistics experts; and Inuit will be trained to analyze and disseminate the information.
