Visual methods in community-based research : access to preventive health services for urban first nations, Inuit and Metis families / Sara K. Tedford.

• First Nations, Inuit and Metis families in Canada face a growing gap between their health needs during pregnancy and early childhood and their access to health services. Conventional health care models and explanations for poor access to and outcomes of care have yielded little insight into how to improve access to services. In this article, the author highlights how in one study led by Dr Dawn Smith, of urban Aboriginal family access to preventive services, visual methods engaged community members, providers and policy-makers in discussion and debate about access to preventive services, providing for meaningful consideration of strategies for change.
