Integrating Aboriginal, Quantitative, and Qualitative Methodologies to Develop Appropriate Determinants of Health in a Mi'kmaq First Nation Community.

Understanding and assessing the health of Pictou Landing First Nation (PLFN) in a respectful and mindful way, that honors a Mi'kmaq worldview, the Mi'kmaq culture, and spirituality, and the connections to land and environment is central to the approach taken in Integrating Aboriginal, Quantitative, and Qualitative Methodologies to Develop Appropriate Determinants of Health in a Mi'kmaq First Nation Community. Developing a Mi'kmaq health framework using Aboriginal, quantitative, and qualitative methodologies would reflect a holistic view of health as perceived by the PLFN community.
