Pathways to Health Equity for Aboriginal Children
FY 2013-14
Summary
Early childhood development, or ECD, programs are ideally positioned to address the serious health inequities that are experienced by many Aboriginal children. However, little is known about how ECD programs are responsive to Aboriginal children many of whom live with social disadvantages rooted in structural inequities. Using a critical qualitative design, and in partnership with an Aboriginal ECD program in British Columbia, 23-30 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and 10-15 hours of participant observation in community settings were undertaken. Findings from this critical inquiry can inform equity-oriented ECD and early intervention policies and practices, including occupational therapy, for children and families who experience socio-economic marginalization and health inequities.

Abstract
Early childhood development, or ECD, programs are ideally positioned to address the serious health inequities that are experienced by many Aboriginal children. However, little is known about how ECD programs are responsive to Aboriginal children many of whom live with social disadvantages rooted in structural inequities. Using a critical qualitative design, and in partnership with an Aboriginal ECD program in British Columbia, 23-30 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and 10-15 hours of participant observation in community settings were undertaken. Findings from this critical inquiry can inform equity-oriented ECD and early intervention policies and practices, including occupational therapy, for children and families who experience socio-economic marginalization and health inequities.
