Summary: | All NCCAH materials are available free and can be reproduced in whole or in part with appropriate attribution and citation. All NCCAH materials are to be used solely for non-commercial purposes. This report focuses on the under representation of Aboriginal peoples in the privileged Western research design of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The authors make a strong case that to remedy existing health care disparities, researchers need to develop participatory, socially relevant, and culturally safe methods for conducting RCTs within First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. This publication was funded by the NCCAH and made possible through a financial contribution from the Public Health Agency of Canada.
