From Research at Island Health’s Vimeo Channel:

Research involving Indigenous People requires true community engagement, which takes time, a commitment, and an understanding of the history of Indigenous peoples’ experience with research.

In light of this, this presentation will highlight important aspects of “doing research in a good way” with Indigenous People and will focus on the ethical guidelines found in Chapter 9: “Ethics regarding working with Indigenous people” in the Tri-Council Policy Statement on Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS2).

Speaker:
Sherri Pooyak, Co-Chair of the Health Research Ethics Board for Island Health; Community-Based Research Manager at Aboriginal HIV and AIDS Community-Based Research Collaborative Centre

Learning Objectives:

  • To understand the ethical considerations of engaging with Indigenous communities.
  • To understand the role of Health Research Ethics Boards in community-based research collaborations.
