Prairie Women’s Health Centre of Excellence provides assistance with facilitation and support to community and partners to understand the health and health issues of Aboriginal women. This process helps 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.

Prairie Women’s Health Centre of Excellence has invested in learning and sharing new methods to develop women’s health research through a community-based process that draws upon the knowledge, skills and experience of local women.

Throughout this process PWHCE and our partners rely upon the Ethical Guidelines adopted by the Saskatoon Aboriginal Women’s Health Research Committee. Central to these ethical principles is the value of respect – respect for Aboriginal communities and local leaders, and respect for women. Part of this respect is the commitment to ensuring that their voices are heard. Another guiding principal is the importance of relationships with people, so that research is by and for Aboriginal women. Good relations are built on trust, communication and shared responsibility for decision-making.
