Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support
Direct Payment
$12,000.00
Community-directed research priorities by those with Indigenous lived hepatitis C experience
FY 2014-15
Summary
Indigenous peoples in Canada experience a lot more hepatitis C than the rest of Canadians. Indigeneity - having a First Nations, Inuit or Métis identity - is central. It is a foundational risk factor because of historical and ongoing trauma. It is a critical and foundational element for care and treatment, because our resilience and healing are grounded in our culture. We need to gather, as Indigenous peoples with lived experience of hepatitis C, to figure out what research needs to be done, and prioritize that. This project is about us, the experts are us, and we use sharing circles to collect the data. This sharing will provide us a stronger voice, which is especially important now because we need to make sure we're not left out of new treatments.
