Abstract Unintentional injuries are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, yet they are predictable and avoidable events.

Community-based strategies differ from other approaches as they strive to conduct research with, rather than on marginalized groups. A community-based approach to social marketing, injury prevention and risk messaging was applied in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada, to examine and address men’s boating safety behaviours.
