“…However, not all youth remember information given to them during the testing experience. Previously reported findings from the current study (Worthington, et al, 2010) indicated that 28% of participating youth who tested for HIV did not remember the information they were given and 23% said they were given no information at all. Only one-fifth (20%) of Aboriginal youth testers remembered receiving specific information on how to protect their partners.…”

The purpose of this community-based research was to examine the experiences of Canadian Aboriginal youth regarding accessing HIV testing and care services. We used a mixed method exploratory research design; 413 participants completed a self-administered survey and 25 youth participated in in-depth semistructuredWe would like to thank our Steering Committee for their wisdom and guidance throughout this project; our community partners for their time and effort and collaboration; and of course, the youth who participated in this research for sharing their thoughts and experiences with us. Without them, this research would not be possible.

Inuit Canadians are on average about 20 years younger and have a 10-year lower life expectancy than other Canadians. While there have been improvements in Inuit health status over time, significant health disparities still remain. This paper will review the peer-reviewed literature related to Inuit child, youth, and maternal health between 2000 and 2010, investigate which thematic areas were examined, and determine what proportion of the research is related to each group. Establishing areas of research concentrations and scarcities may help direct future research where it is needed. We followed a systematic literature review and employed peer-reviewed research literature on child, youth, and maternal health which were selected from 3 sources, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and the Circumpolar Health Bibliographic Database. The resulting references were read, and summarized according to population group and thematic area. The thematic areas that emerged by frequency were: infectious disease; environment/environmental exposures; nutrition; birth outcomes; tobacco; chronic disease; health care; policy, human resources; interventions/programming; social determinants of health; mental health and wellbeing; genetics; injury; and dental health. The 72 papers that met the inclusion criteria were not mutually exclusive with respect to group studied. Fifty-nine papers (82%) concerned child health, 24 papers (33%) youth health, and 58 papers (81%) maternal health. The review documented high incidences of illness and significant public health problems; however, in the context of these issues, opportunities to develop research that could directly enhance health outcomes are explored.

“…Les chercheurs encouragent des études qui cherchent à comprendre les causes sociales, économiques, culturelles et politiques qui façonnent de nombreux problèmes de santé, notamment l'accroissement des taux d'ITS et l'épidémie de VIH (Lang, et Rayner, 2007;Mehrabadi, Craib, Patterson, Adam, Moniruzzaman, WardBurkitt, et Spittal, 2008;Raphael, 2009;Shoveller et al, 2009). Compte tenu de ces faits bien documentés, il semblerait que le système de soins de santé canadien actuel ne réponde pas aux besoins de la santé sexuelle du peuple autochtone, en particulier les jeunes autochtones (Smylie, Lessard, Bailey, Couchie, Driedger, Eason, Goldsmith, Grey, O'Hearn, et Seethram, 2001;Worthington, Jackson, Mill, Prentice, Myers, et Sommerfeldt, 2010). En effet, les obstacles à l'accès aux services de santé ont été bien étudiés et plusieurs sont liés à la honte et à la stigmatisation (McKay, 2006;Shoveller et al, 2009;Uuskula, Kangur, et McNutt, 2006), ainsi qu'aux préoccupations de confidentialité (Blake, Kearney, Oakes, Druker, et Bibace, 2003), au manque de service jeunesse (Shoveller et al, 2009), et aux lacunes vis-à-vis du respect des genres par les fournisseurs de soins de santé (Gahagan et al, 2011;Langille et Rigby, 2006;Langille, Murphy, Hughes, et Rigby, 2001;McKay, 2006).…”

AbstractIn Canada, young Aboriginal men and women are faced with growing sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates and a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. Historical and present day social conditions interact and impact on the vulnerability of the Aboriginal population. The purpose of this ethnographic study was to enhance the public health understanding of Aboriginal youths' experiences with sexual health services. A culture and community-based qualitative process sought to understand youths' lived experiences of accessing sexual health services and HIV/STI testing. A purposeful sample of twenty Aboriginal youths was used for this study. Thematic analysis was informed by all data sources was carried out to interpret the data for themes. Four themes were identified in regard to access: funding and legislative bodies, intergenerational shaping of sexual health, sexual health places and education, and perceptions of sexual health services and HIV/STI testing. It is vital that health care providers and policy makers work with a culturally competent and gender-based approach that is sensitive to the many processes that interact to influence health promotion and disease prevention.
