Qanuippitaa? National Inuit Health Survey in Nunavut
Qanuippitaa? means “How are we?” in Inuktitut. The name and spelling were chosen for the first ever Inuit health survey that was conducted in Nunavik in 2004. It was also subsequently chosen by ITK when it launched the national survey in 2019.
One of the main goals of Qanuippitaa? National Inuit Health Survey (QNIHS) is to provide an overview of the health and wellbeing of Inuit across Inuit Nunangat and those living in other parts of Canada outside of our homelands. The information collected will be of high quality and used to monitor changes, identify strengths and gaps experienced in our communities, and help inform impactful decision-making. Our hope is that this work will lead to improved health and wellbeing among Inuit.
