Title: Climate Change and Health Community Photovoice Research Project and Tool Development Workshop

Action:  The community undertook a three-day workshop in Iqaluit, Nunavut May 12-14, 2009 to provide training and experience to community members in Nunavut in Photovoice methodology. The purpose was to build capacity and confidence of community members in community-based research methods in order that they may lead their own health research projects and participate meaningfully in projects that come to their communities.

Results:  The project was successful in:
  • Building local capacity to develop and deliver community-driven health research projects in Nunavut communities;
  • Providing opportunities to learn hands on about data collection methods, such as surveys, interviews and a Photovoice project in climate change and health;
  • Providing community members with important skills and resources to be proactive about engaging in health research taking place in their communities and expand the opportunities available to communities to address health concerns locally; and
  • Generating more community-driven health research projects that are lead by community-members.

Outputs: The community developed a Photovoice Research Online Video Tool,  Inuktitut language and terminology, a museum exhibit, prepared a journal submission and a research report.
