Pauktuutit’s sexual health program began in the late 1980’s when news of the first Inuk woman diagnosed with HIV became public. Pauktuutit first passed a resolution during its 1984 Annual General Meetings (AGM) calling attention to Inuit sexual health issues and to the need for information and educational materials on sexual health that met the needs of Inuit communities. Later, in 1990, an AGM resolution called for an AIDS workshop in the North. In May 1995, Pauktuutit conducted the first National Inuit HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections Workshop, which served to raise awareness among Community Health Representatives (CHRs) about the issues and risk behaviours associated with HIV/AIDS and STIs. In 1998, with financial support from Health Canada, Pauktuutit began a pan-Arctic HIV/AIDS health prevention and promotion program that produced and distributed HIV/AIDS-related materials in English and Inuktitut. Pauktuutit remains the only national organization focusing on specific Inuit HIV/AIDS issues and initiatives, and has gained national and international recognition and acclaim for its innovative and unique work.

This project was funded by the Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) and the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP) of the Public Health Agency of Canada. This project supported Pauktuutit to develop Inuit-specific material and resources that focus on second-hand smoke harm reduction based on the Action on Women’s Addictions – Research and Education (AWARE) program called Start Thinking About Reducing Second-Hand Smoke (STARSS). With the help of an advisory committee the original STARSS material and resources were adapted to be more relevant to Inuit in Nunavut, the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, Nunavik and Nunatsiavut.

This report describes the results of nine focus groups conducted by Pauktuutit during the first year of the Inuit Cancer Project as well as a brief summary of the cancer workshop conducted during Pauktuutit’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in March 2013. During the focus group sessions, a facilitator introduced different topics and asked questions and participants were invited to discuss their views and ideas. There were no right or wrong answers. Together with the workshop, the intent was to get a better understanding of the knowledge, attitudes, and the things Inuit do when cancer touches their lives. This information will help Pauktuutit design and deliver better tools and resources that meet the needs and values of Inuit.
