North End Matters: A Multi-Phase Project

Project meetings are underway for the third phase of North End Matters: A Multi-Phase Project.

The third phase of the project is using the People Assessing their Health (PATH) community engagement process to engage African Nova Scotians in the North End in discussions on the social, economic, and environmental factors that impact health and mental health in this community.

The project outcome will be the development of a Community Health Impact Assessment Tool (CHIAT). This will be the first time that such a tool has been developed for an African Canadian community.

The CHIAT is an advocacy tool that can be used to suggest actions that could be taken to maximize the benefits (positive effects) and minimize the harm (negative effects) of policies, projects, policies or programs. Therefore, the CHIAT will give the community a say in decisions that impact their lives and health.

The research team, project partners (North End Community Health Center, Community Health Board) and African Nova Scotian Advisory Committee on the project have opened up our project meetings to the public.
