Rachel Hirsch is a Postdoctoral Fellow with York University located in Toronto and Gwen Healey is the Executive and Scientific Director of the Qaujigiartiit Health Research Centre (QHRC) located in Iqaluit. We are working together to develop a knowledge tracking tool.
This pilot study tracks a message from a community-based research project that was conducted by the QHRC in 2009.
To be eligible to participate you need to be:
- working/living in Iqaluit;
- a municipal or territorial policy-maker (you establish, modify, enforce, or advocate for government programs); and,
- someone who would find the QHRC's message (see attached flyer below) applicable in your work.
Rachel Hirsch is currently in Iqaluit working out of the Nunavut Research Institute Building (959-A) and will be available for in person interviews until October 26th, 2011. If interested and eligible, you would be asked for up to 60 minutes of your time. Interviews can be conducted in English or Inuktitut.
