The goal of this exploratory community-based participatory action research project was twofold: to determine how urban Aboriginal youth identify their health needs within a culturally centred model of health and wellness, and to create new knowledge and research capacity by and with urban Aboriginal youth and urban Aboriginal health-care providers. A mixed-method approach was employed to examine these experiences using talking circles and a survey. The study contributes to anticolonial research in that it resists narratives of dis(ease) put forth through neocolonial research paradigms.A key focus was the development of strategies that address the aspirations of urban Aboriginal youth, laying foundations upon which their potential in health and wellness can be nurtured, supported, and realized. The study contributes to a new narrative of the health of urban Aboriginal youth within a culturally centred and culturally safe framework that acknowledges their strong connection to their Indigenous lands, languages, and traditions while also recognizing the spaces between which they move.
一是确定城市原住民青年如何在以文化为中心的健康与福祉模式中识别他们的健康需求；二是与城市原住民青年和城市原住民医疗服务提供者共同创造新知识和研究能力。采用了混合方法，通过谈话圈和一项调查来审视这些经历。该研究有助于反殖民研究，因为它抵制了新殖民研究范式所提出的关于疾病的叙述。一个关键重点是制定满足城市原住民青年愿望的策略，为培养、支持和实现他们在健康与福祉方面的潜力奠定基础。该研究在以文化为中心且文化安全的框架内，为城市原住民青年的健康创造了一种新的叙述方式，既承认他们与本土土地、语言和传统的紧密联系，同时也认识到他们所处的不同空间。
