Prairie Women’s Health Centre of Excellence provided assistance with facilitation and support to communities and partners to understand the health and health issues of Aboriginal women. This process helped to provide space and time for Aboriginal women to identify research ideas that could contribute to Aboriginal women’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
PWHCE also explored appropriate research methods and helped to develop ethical guidelines. Further, we invested in learning and sharing new methods to develop women’s health research through a community-based process that drew upon the knowledge, skills and experience of local women.
