Because hepatitis C comes to communities in many of the same ways as HIV and AIDS, it was also included in the research.

This program of research is investigating the role of culture as a determinant of health with Aboriginal community research partners through the concept of “cultural vitalization.” This approach seeks to examine culture in population health as a multiple and dynamic set of phenomena, rather than historical and static.
