Case 10: Lost In Translation: Developing Strategies For Indigenous People Who Have Cancer, Limited English Proficiency, And Limited Health Literacy, Hillary Martin, Janet Papadakos, Amanda Terry
Western Public Health Casebooks
Studies have documented that people who have limited health literacy and limited English proficiency often have challenges with all aspects of health care, including difficulties accessing health care, understanding medical information, making treatment decisions, taking prescriptions properly, and communicating with health care workers. People who have limited health literacy often have an overall negative outlook about health care, and they are less likely to seek help from health care providers or health programs, which can negatively affect their overall long-term health and lead to poorer health outcomes than those with high health literacy.

La nature, l’intensité et la direction des mouvements migratoires des Premières Nations (Indiens inscrits et non-inscrits) sont le reflet d’inégalités entre leurs communautés, mais aussi avec la population canadienne non-autochtone. Ainsi, la mobilité résidentielle est la forme la plus fréquente de migration chez les Premières Nations, soit au sein d’une même communauté ou dans un centre urbain, alors que les migrations interprovinciales et internationales sont marginales. L’effet net des flux migratoires des Indiens inscrits favorise nettement les réserves, plutôt que les régions rurales ou urbaines. L’amélioration des conditions de vie et le sentiment d’appartenance à une communauté expliquent le plus …
