Health Information, Research and Planning defines fundamental concepts in health research and public health, and explains them in a manner that is relevant to First Nations health planners, administrators and leadership. This information is intended to get readers thinking about how health information can be used to support and enhance the development and delivery of community health programs and services. By demystifying health information and research, we hope that readers will be empowered to initiate some of these practices in their communities. Also, a solid understanding of these concepts can ensure that First Nations are equipped to enter into inclusive, fruitful research partnerships that meet community aspirations and health needs.
