“…Concomitantly, negative experiences might have a negative influence on future propensity for PPE, although the health professionals interviewed did not mention extracting lessons from these negative experiences. This result is complementary with action-research, which shows that negative experiences with action research impedes the next research process for both researchers and community members (Israel, Schulz, Parker, & Becker, 1998;Sullivan et al, 2001aSullivan et al, , 2001b. So it is important that participants in PPE have positive experiences.…”

“…The collaborative work crosses several disciplines and the interdisciplinary research team facilitates better methodological processes addressing the challenges related to community-based research [13]. The co-location of the project with numerous other research projects (eg wildlife and fish contaminant monitoring) is directly supporting our efforts to understand pathways of contaminants exposure, and how social change, climate change, harvest levels and resource development may affect contaminants exposure in the future.…”

“…A community-based approach is dependant on the engagement of the community, and defined as those who are affected by the health issue, and also every group with a specific culture that can take the lead in engagement efforts and engage in joint action in a geographical location [11–13]. Community-based projects in the NTs usually focus on environmental monitoring (eg wildlife, contaminants, climate change) or Traditional Knowledge (TK) preservation [14–20].…”

Community-based projects place emphasis on a collaborative approach and facilitate research among Indigenous populations regarding local issues and challenges, such as traditional foods consumption, climate change and health safety. Country foods (locally harvested fish, game birds, land animals and plants), which contribute to improved food security, can also be a primary route of contaminant exposure among populations in remote regions. A community-based project was launched in the Dehcho and Sahtù regions of the Northwest Territories (Canada) to: 1) assess contaminants exposure and nutrition status; 2) investigate the role of country food on nutrient and contaminant levels and 3) understand the determinants of message perception on this issue. Consultation with community members, leadership, local partners and researchers was essential to refine the design of the project and implement it in a culturally relevant way. This article details the design of a community-based biomonitoring study that investigates country food use, contaminant exposure and nutritional status in Canadian subarctic First Nations in the Dehcho and Sahtù regions. Results will support environmental health policies in the future for these communities. The project was designed to explore the risks and benefits of country foods and to inform the development of public health strategies.

Objectives-Engaging communities has become a critical aspect of planning and implementing health research. The role community engagement should play in epidemiological and observational research remains unclear since much of this research is not directly generated by community concerns and is not interventional in nature. The National Children's Study (NCS), an observational longitudinal study of 100,000 children and their families, provides a model to help guide the development of community engagement strategies in epidemiologic research.Methodology-This manuscript describes community engagement activities of the NCS during the planning phases of the study.Results-There are many challenges of community engagement in epidemiologic research particularly before the actual research sites are determined. After communities of interest are designated many further issues must be resolved, including: defining the specific community, determining which residents or institutions represent the identified community, and developing trust and rapport through respectful engagement.Conclusions-Community engagement is critical to the long-term success of any longitudinal epidemiologic study. A partnership with the community should be formed to ensure mutual respect and the establishment of an enduring relationship. Genuine community engagement offers the hope of enhancing recruitment, retention, and participant satisfaction.
