About the Qanuippitaa? National Inuit Health Survey
Qanuippitaa? National Inuit Health Survey (QNIHS) is an ongoing Inuit-owned survey that will be conducted every five years. The Nunavut component of the survey will begin in 2024.
The QNIHS will provide an overall picture of the health and wellbeing of Inuit in all regions – what is going well and what needs to be improved. The survey will ask questions that focus on many topics including food and nutrition, mental wellness, substance use, and culture and identity, among others.
The QNIHS data collection will take place in every community across Inuit Nunangat – Nunavut, the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, Nunavik, and Nunatsiavut. The survey will ask the same questions across all regions of Inuit Nunangat, as well as questions specific to Nunavut. Participants will be randomly from all Inuit in Nunavut.
