项目摘要

Poor health and its relationship to social and economic stress are hallmarks for Native peoples across North America, especially for those living in the Arctic. Five decades of academic research among Inuit peoples in North America has established a trend of declining health and increasing health disparities that corresponds with the rapid socioeconomic and environmental changes occurring in the Arctic regions, indicating the need for more effective health interventions. Despite decades of epidemiological and public health research and increasing efforts to improve health in these communities, poor health, higher mortality, and attendant social concerns remain far higher than elsewhere in North America. Ongoing health interventions have proven ineffective, suggesting new, locally-based, and culturally appropriate approaches are needed. This project focuses a local lens on how Arctic residents understand and experience health and stress and how they prioritize health problems, making its outcomes critical for developing programs and policies that lead to lasting improvements in health and well-being.This research project will be conducted in the communities of Ulukhaktok, Inuvialuit Settlement Region and Kangiqsujuaq, Nunavik to develop Community Based Participatory Research designs addressing community concerns about health and stress with direct Inuit input. Drawing upon the investigators' decades of experience working in these communities, this project is well-suited for a co-produced approach, allowing for both for efficient use of resources and the necessary rapport to work with community members to develop a research project that meets both academic and community needs. The investigators will travel to both communities to conduct mini-conferences with community members to set a research agenda for investigating health disparities and the experience of social stress in these communities. These meetings will solicit community involvement and input in targeting research priorities related to health, generate frameworks for working collaboratively with local governance, and identify mechanisms for improving local research capacity and developing sustainable solutions for improving health in Arctic communities. The outcome of this research will be a fully developed research project in which knowledge about health and stress is co-produced with the community of focus, which then retains significant input into the execution and outcome of the research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

健康状况不佳及其与社会和经济压力的关系是北美土著人民的特征，特别是对那些生活在北极的人来说。北美因纽特人五十年的学术研究表明，与北极地区正在发生的快速社会经济和环境变化相对应，健康状况下降和健康差距扩大的趋势，表明需要采取更有效的健康干预措施。尽管进行了数十年的流行病学和公共卫生研究，并不断努力改善这些社区的健康状况，但较差的健康状况、较高的死亡率以及随之而来的社会担忧仍然远远高于北美其他地区。正在进行的卫生干预已被证明是无效的，这表明需要新的、以当地为基础和文化上适当的方法。该项目聚焦于北极居民如何理解和体验健康和压力，以及他们如何优先处理健康问题，使其结果对于制定导致健康和福祉持续改善的计划和政策至关重要。该研究项目将在因纽特定居区的乌卢哈托克和努纳维克的坎吉苏华克社区进行，以开发基于社区的参与式研究设计，通过直接的因纽特人参与来解决社区对健康和压力的关切。根据研究人员在这些社区工作的数十年经验，该项目非常适合联合制作的方法，既允许有效利用资源，也允许必要的融洽与社区成员合作，开发符合学术和社区需求的研究项目。调查人员将前往这两个社区，与社区成员举行小型会议，制定研究议程，调查这些社区的健康差距和社会压力体验。这些会议将征求社区的参与和意见，以确定与健康相关的研究优先事项，制定与地方治理协作的框架，并确定提高地方研究能力和制定可持续解决方案的机制，以改善北极社区的健康。这项研究的结果将是一个全面发展的研究项目，其中关于健康和压力的知识是与焦点社区共同产生的，然后焦点社区保留了对研究执行和结果的重要投入。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
