Innulluartaarneq (Having the Good Life Study)

项目摘要Innuluataarneq研究项目的目的是在格陵兰岛开发、实施、评估和传播公共卫生干预措施，重点是格陵兰人了解和了解健康行为和性传播感染(STI)的方式。Innuluataarneq的目标人群是15至19岁的青少年及其父母。Innuluataarneq将作为一项跨学科的国际合作社区参与性研究(CBPR)进行，来自美国、加拿大、丹麦和格陵兰岛的研究人员和学生将参与其中。Innuluataarneq将在格陵兰的三个社区实施：Nuuk、Sisimut和Tasiilaq。Innulataarneq有两个组成部分：1)组成部分1将在格陵兰内进行能力建设，以开展CBPR项目，以加强社区在减少性传播感染方面的自主权，并使格陵兰社区能够与学术机构合作开展与格陵兰知识以及社会和文化习俗产生共鸣的研究；2)组成部分2将向15至19岁的青少年及其父母提供与社会和文化相关的健康教育干预，以提高对性传播感染及其长期后果的认识。首先，人们对文化习俗如何影响北极性传播感染知之甚少。Innulataarneq建立在我们目前在格陵兰性传播感染研究的基础上，格陵兰性健康研究正在收集关于个人行为、社会决定因素以及影响国家的文化、历史和政治因素的信息？S高性传播感染比率。其次，格陵兰岛还没有实施CBPR来解决任何社会科学或健康问题。S的案例研究方法提高了我们对案例研究方法在格陵兰岛等具有社会和文化多样性的北极社区中的实际应用的认识和理解。第三，由于国家的高STI率和低出生率，格陵兰的生殖未来岌岌可危。因努拉塔内克将探索格陵兰如何促进预防性病的教育努力？S，以确保格陵兰？S的生殖未来。Innulataarneq对社会科学和健康相关领域的更广泛影响的相关性和重要性包括：1)为来自美国、加拿大和格陵兰的土著人口的学生提供经验和培训，了解在北极社区开展基于社区的参与性健康研究所需的技能、技术和知识；2)在美国、加拿大和格陵兰的机构之间建立对话和建立联系，以促进更好地了解这项健康研究在北极的重要性；3)提高对格陵兰、STI和北极国家解决这一问题的文化相关方式的CBPR方法的认识；4)促进解决北极社区健康问题的社会科学研究；5)记录和分享格陵兰传统知识及其对北极社区性行为的影响。

PROJECT ABSTRACTThe purpose of Innuluataarneq research project is to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate a public health intervention in Greenland that focuses on Greenlandic ways of understanding and knowing about healthy behavior and sexually transmitted infections (STI). The target population for Innuluataarneq is 15 to 19 year old adolescents and their parents. Innuluataarneq will be conducted as an interdisciplinary international, collaborative community based participatory research (CBPR) study involving researchers and students from the United States, Canada, Denmark and Greenland. Innuluataarneq will be implemented in three communities in Greenland: Nuuk, Sisimut, and Tasiilaq. There are two components to Innulataarneq: 1) Component 1 will build capacity within Greenland to conduct CBPR projects that enhance community ownership in reducing STIs and empower communities in Greenland to partner with academic institutions to conduct research that resonates with Greenlandic knowledge and social and cultural practices; and 2) Component 2 will provide a socially and culturally relevant health education intervention to adolescents 15 to 19 years old and their parents in order to enhance awareness of STIs and their long term consequences There are several elements to the intellectual merit of Innulataarneq. First, little is known about how cultural practices affect the transmission of STIs in the Arctic. Innulataarneq builds on our current STI research in Greenland, The Greenland Sexual Health Study, which is gathering information on the individual behaviors, social determinants, and cultural, historical, and political factors influencing the country?s high STI rates. Second, CBPR has not been practiced in Greenland to address any social science or health question. Innulataarneq?s CBPR approach advances our knowledge and understanding of the practical application of CBPR methodologies in a socially and culturally diverse Arctic community such as Greenland. Third, the reproductive future of Greenland is in jeopardy due to the countries high STI rates and low birth rates. Innulataarneq will explore Greenlandic ways of promoting educational efforts to prevent STI?s in order to secure Greenland?s reproductive future. The relevance and importance of Innulataarneq to broader impacts in the field of social sciences and health related fields include the following: 1) Provide experience and training for students from indigenous populations in the United States, Canada and Greenland in the skills, techniques and knowledge needed to carry out community based participatory research on sexual health in Arctic communities; 2) Create a dialogue and build connections between institutions in the United States, Canada, and Greenland to foster a greater understanding of the importance of this health research in the Arctic; 3) Raise awareness about CBPR methods in Greenland, STIs, and culturally relevant ways of addressing this problem in an Arctic country; 4) Promote social science research that addresses health issues in Arctic communities; and 5) Documents and shares Greenlandic traditional knowledge and how it influences sexual behavior in an Arctic community.
