Our health counts
Measuring Indigenous homelessness
Results show that FNIM adults living physically homeless are more likely to experience other dimensions of homelessness. Using existing data, 5 of the 12 dimensions were not measurable. This points to a critical need to develop new survey tools to fully understand the historical, environmental, social, political, spiritual, and emotional factors that influence pathways into homelessness among FNIM populations
Unmasking population undercounts, health inequities, and health service access barriers across Indigenous populations in urban Ontario
The Canadian census appears to markedly underestimate Indigenous population size in urban areas. Indigenous health inequities and service access barriers are striking and cross-cutting. Timely adaptation of health policies, services, and funding allocations in response to these findings is recommended
Design and implementation of the Our Health Counts (OHC) methodology for First Nations, Inuit, and Metis (FNIM) health assessment and response in urban and related homelands
The OHC methodology has been demonstrated as effective, culturally relevant, and scalable across diverse Ontario cities
Our Health Counts Toronto
The Indigenous population in Toronto continues to experience smoking prevalence nearly four times greater than that in the general population. This highlights the need for accurate population data to inform programs and policies and address the social determinants of health
Our Health Counts
This research highlights disproportionately high prevalence of ever being incarcerated among FNIM living in three Ontario cities. Experiencing racism, family disruption, and victimization are associated with incarceration. Decreasing the rates of family disruption, experiences of racism, and victimization should inform future policy and services to reduce the disproportionately high prevalence of incarceration for FNIM people living in urban sett…
Relationships to land as a determinant of wellness for Indigenous women, two-spirit, trans, and gender diverse people of reproductive age in Toronto, Canada
Our findings indicate that among urban Indigenous women, two-spirit, trans, and gender diverse people of reproductive age there is a positive association between feeling strong in their relationships to land and feeling balanced in the four domains of health (physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional). The community-based, community-directed design of OHC Toronto was congruent with a reproductive justice approach to research. Reproductive justic…
Modelling prevalent cardiovascular disease in an urban Indigenous population
Our modelling identified hypertension, diabetes and exposure to discrimination as factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Discrimination is a modifiable exposure that must be addressed to improve cardiovascular health among Indigenous populations
Mental health and cultural continuity among an urban Indigenous population in Toronto, Canada
OHC Toronto responded to the gaps in health assessment data for urban Indigenous people. Despite historic and ongoing trauma, Indigenous people have maintained cultural practices and a strong sense of identity. Efforts aimed at supporting Indigenous well-being must respond to the roots of trauma, racism, and existing Indigenous community knowledge and strengths
Indigenous Health Service Evaluation
A group of Indigenous health and social service evaluators called the “Three Ribbon” panel came together in Toronto in 2015/16 with the goal of informing a set of evidence-based guidelines for urban Indigenous health and social service and program evaluation. The collective knowledge and experiences of the Three Ribbon panel was gathered through discussion circles and synthesized around the following areas: barriers to conducting Indigenous healt…
Kokums to the Iskwêsisisak
The national COVID-19 pandemic response presents a sharp contrast to the matrilineal social kinship and knowledge exchange systems that Métis women and girls rely on for safety, security, and wellbeing. In this article, we demonstrate that while Métis women and girls have been left out of the national pandemic response, they continue to carry intergenerational healing knowledges that have been passed down from the kokums (grandmas) to the iskwêsi…
It’s not like I’m more Indigenous there and I’m less Indigenous here.”
Colonial policies and identity debates have resulted in major gaps in access to culturally safe health and social services for Métis Peoples living in Canada. To address the Métis health service gap, this qualitative study explores urban Métis women’s identity and their experiences with health and social services in Toronto, Canada. Métis women ( n = 11) understand Métis identity as having connection to community, intergenerational identity survi…
“I would prefer to have my health care provided over a cup of tea any day”
This article reports on recommendations made by urban Métis women for improving access to health and social services in Toronto, Canada. By applying a conversational method, this research followed up with a subgroup of urban Métis women who participated in the Our Health Counts Toronto longitudinal cohort. Métis women ( n = 11) provided holistic and practical recommendations for improving access to health and social services. These recommendation…
Postpartum depression prevalence and risk factors among Indigenous, non-Indigenous and immigrant women in Canada
Unmet health needs and discrimination by healthcare providers among an Indigenous population in Toronto, Canada
This analysis provides new evidence linking discrimination in healthcare settings to disparities in healthcare access among urban Indigenous people, reinforcing existing recommendations regarding Indigenous cultural safety training for healthcare providers. Our study further demonstrates Our Health Counts methodologies, which employ robust community partnerships and RDS to address gaps in health information for urban Indigenous populations
