Summary: Data collection will proceed with the organization of focus group meetings. Women will be invited to participate in the study through promotion of the project in the community. Women are the most likely group to provide information on nutrition as well as influence food intake of the family. A food preference assessment will be conducted at the start of the focus group discussions. Focus group...

Summary: The project is to see how different organic contaminants change with different preparation methods of the important fatty foods used by the Inuit. The research will focus on food prepared for eating. Samples (aprox. 120) will be collected and prepared by a research assistant from the community. The study aims to find the best ways to prepare these food items to reduce exposure to these contamin...

Summary: Two researchers from Sanikiluaq will conduct interviews with a household food frequency questionnaire, a food preference questionnaire and a 24-hour recall of daily food consumption. All households in the community will be interviewed to determine the frequency of food use and food preference and a stratefied sample will be asked to recall foods consumed in a 24 hour period. This study will docume...
