QANUILIRPITAA? 2017

Meaning: Where are we now? / How are we now?

In August 2017, a team of 40+ people, including researchers, local interviewers, medical/laboratory staff and NRBHSS employees set out for the community of Kuujjuaraapik on board the scientific research vessel Amundsen to launch the QANUILIRPITAA? health survey.

Our research team visited every Norther Village, filling out health questionnaires and performing clinical tests. A total of 1,326 Nunavimmiut from all 14 communities took part in this survey, which was divided into these 3 major components: (1) Adults, (2) Youth, (3) Community.

The results from QANUILIRPITAA? have provided researchers and policy makers with a better understanding of the importance Inuit place on traditional values, culture and the environment and how these three elements influence the ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

NOTE: This survey is the result of a partnership between the regional organizations, the Institut national de santé publique du Québec( INSPQ), and Laval, McGill and Trent Universities.
