Indigenous knowledge networks for infant, child, and family health

Abstract

This knowledge translation project has the goal of improving the content and flow of Indigenous and Western public health information into community health programs for the young First Nations and Metis families in Ontario and Saskatchewan.  Throughout the project our transdisciplinary team of scientists and indigenous knowledge keepers will apply a cutting edge mixed method evaluation of knowledge products and processes.
