Ready to Practice Indigenous Health Research? An Integrative Framework of Indigenous Health Research Competencies for Neihr Network Evaluation, Training, and Selection
Background: National Environments for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR) are funded across Canadian provinces to enhance capacities for Indigenous health research. While capacities are required at political, organizational, and individual levels, individual capacity is critical to unpack as it is related to capacity at all levels. In the XXXXXXXXXXXX network, our evaluation team has been working to identify the knowledge, skills, abilities, and o…

Alberta has one of the highest rates of IPV in Canada. Health systems play a crucial role in providing services for IPV. It is widely recommended to integrate IPV services into trauma services to improve outcomes for patients admitted with severe IPV injuries. For example, having a ded…
Examining the Effectiveness, Acceptability, and Feasibility of Virtually Delivered Trauma-Focused Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence Interventions
