Understanding how Indigenous mothers living in urban areas, engage with the Canadian health care system to meet the health needs of their infants: An application of Indigenous research methodology
EF 2016-17
Résumé
Indigenous infants in Canada have poorer health outcomes than other Canadian infants, despite living in cities where there are hospitals and health services available. No studies have been done in Canada that look at how Indigenous mothers care for the health needs of their infants. Due to this lack of understanding, health care professionals do not know what needs Indigenous mothers have when trying to access health care for their infants.
This study will ask mothers to describe how they use health services in Hamilton, Ontario, to meet the health needs of their infants. Results will include what services work best, which do not meet their needs and why, and how health care professionals can improve how health services are provided in Hamilton to better meet their needs.

Abstract
Indigenous infants in Canada have poorer health outcomes than other Canadian infants, despite living in cities where there are hospitals and health services available. No studies have been done in Canada that look at how Indigenous mothers care for the health needs of their infants. Due to this lack of understanding, health care professionals do not know what needs Indigenous mothers have when trying to access health care for their infants.
This study will ask mothers to describe how they use health services in Hamilton, Ontario, to meet the health needs of their infants. Results will include what services work best, which do not meet their needs and why, and how health care professionals can improve how health services are provided in Hamilton to better meet their needs.
