There are few health promotion tools for urban Inuit, and there is a specific dearth of evaluations on such tools.
The current study used a community-specific approach in the evaluation of a health promotion tool, based on an urban Inuit community's preferences of health knowledge sources and distribution strategies. In partnership with the Tungasuvvingat Inuit Family Health Team in Ottawa, a CD-Rom was developed featuring an Inuk Elder presenting prenatal health messages in both Inuktitut and English. Also, relevant evaluation materials were developed.
Using a mixed methods approach, 40 participants completed interviews prior to viewing the CD-Rom and participated in a focus group at follow-up. Questionnaires were also completed pre- and post-viewing to assess changes between expectations and reactions in order to document acceptability.
Significant increases were found on satisfaction, acceptability of medium and relevance of content ratings. Qualitative findings also included (a) interest, uncertainty and conditional interest prior to viewing; and (b) positive evaluations of the CD-Rom.
This suggests that CD-Rom technology has the potential for health promotion for urban Inuit, and the community-specific evaluation approach yielded useful information.
针对城市因纽特人的健康促进工具很少，而且对这类工具的评估尤为匮乏。
本研究采用特定社区的方法来评估一种健康促进工具，该方法基于一个城市因纽特社区对健康知识来源和传播策略的偏好。与渥太华的通加苏温加特因纽特家庭健康团队合作，开发了一张光盘，其中有一位因纽特长者用因努伊特语和英语讲述产前健康信息。此外，还开发了相关的评估材料。
采用混合方法，40名参与者在观看光盘之前完成访谈，并在随访时参加焦点小组。还在观看前后完成问卷调查，以评估期望和反应之间的变化，从而记录可接受性。
满意度、媒介可接受性和内容评分相关性均有显著提高。定性研究结果还包括：（a）观看前的兴趣、不确定性和有条件的兴趣；（b）对光盘的积极评价。
这表明光盘技术有促进城市因纽特人健康的潜力，且特定社区的评估方法产生了有用信息。
