The focus of my research program is the assessment of chronic disease risk and the reduction of the impact of chronic disease through applied and health policy research to reduce health inequities and promote health system improvement in northern Indigenous populations. Assessment research examines patterns of child growth and nutrition; prevalence of overweight and obesity; and incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases such diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease and cancer in Indigenous populations. Related methodological research examines the use of international reference standards for growth and obesity assessment in Indigenous populations. Applied research investigates the impact of community-based nutrition, physical activity and hunter-education programs on health patterns among Inuit children and youth. Health policy research examines the impact of federal health and food subsidy policy in northern Indigenous communities with the goals of increasing community access to federal health programs and reducing food insecurity.
