Description du projet: The researchers will be continuing their interviews with community members on identifying contaminant issues and information needs related to those issues. Interviews will be conducted with a wide range of individuals, including harvesters, elders, women, youth and professionals. An appropriate communication strategy will be developed in an appropriate cultural and social context.
