Engaging Northern Indigenous Children through Drawing for Community Health Research: A Picture of the Social Impact of H. pylori Infection in Fort McPherson in the Northwest Territories, Canada.

An analysis of drawings made by Indigenous children in the Arctic hamlet of Fort McPherson, Canada, serves the dual purpose of contributing children's perspectives to community-driven research on H. pylori infection, and demonstrating the utility of employing visual approaches for research involving school-aged children. Insights into their knowledge, attitudes, and experiences relating to this infection yielded important insights for knowledge translation with primary-care providers. Results may be utilized within the broader research program to improve approaches to delivering care for H. pylori infection, by helping to integrate community members' perspectives into the ideologies of primary-care providers.
