Survey action

The survey and data gathering processes are approved by Inuit organizations and informed by the insights of Inuit Nunavummiut. The research methods combine Inuit knowledge and academic research, taking the “best of both worlds” to create a reliable, Inuit-specific, and ethical approach to health research. 

Guiding principles

Strengths-based

Focused on Inuit health, well-being, and social equity

Inuit-determined

Innovative

Rigorous in methods

Collaborative

Survey team

The QNIHS Nunavut research team will be mostly Inuit Nunavummiut – some local and some from around the territory – so the survey process is being driven by Inuit in a way that makes sense for Nunavut.   Survey results will cover Inuit health and wellness and will be available for use by Inuit first. If approved by Inuit, results will also be shared and used by others, such as government policy makers and academic researchers.
