Welcome to Qanuikkat Siqinirmiut Health Survey

A collaboration between Qavvivik Inuit Family and Community Health Centre and the research team at the Université Laval

The Qanuikkat Siqinirmiut? (how are the people in the south?) Health survey aims to describe the health and well-being of Siqinirmiut (Inuit living in southern Quebec) from an Inuit point of view. The information will be used to build capacity to address community needs and support the development of Inuit-specific services.

 

The research project, which began in 2018, is conducted as a partnership between Qavvivik Inuit Family and Community Health Centre, an Inuit controlled organization, and researchers at the Université Laval.

 

The survey phase of the project began in May 2024 and was completed in January 2025. Over 250 Inuit living in the south took part in the survey. The survey took about an hour to fill out everyone was accompanied by an Inuktitut speaker and support staff. The survey was available in English, Inuktitut and French.

 

Funding for the project comes from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, ArcticNet, and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.

 

The data from the survey are owned and controlled by Inuit organizations.
