About NNADAP Renewal Research
To support the First Nations Addictions Advisory Panel (FNAAP) in developing the Renewed Program Framework, four NNADAP Research Papers were commissioned to address key information needs within the program. To enhance the collaboration between these papers, a NNADAP Research Forum was hosted in February of 2009.
NNADAP Research Papers
The FNAAP has commissioned a series of four research papers on key information needs within NNADAP. Researchers will engage a variety of individuals who have involvement with NNADAP (community members, Elders, service providers, users and administrators, etc.) through a wide range of research methods (e.g., literature reviews, key informant interviews, talking circles). The synthesis of this information will be used to identify key priority areas within the program and to provide strategic direction for its renewal. The NNADAP Research Papers will focus on the following topics:
- Cultural and Tradition within Addiction Services – Carol Hopkins
- Improving Mental Health Services and Supports within NNADAP – Dr. Rod McCormick
- Review of NNADAP’s Prevention Services – Dr. Heather Gifford
- Historical Review of NNADAP – NNAPF, AFN & FNIHB
- Systems Paper - Dr. Peter Menzies, Dr. Wayne Skinner, Dr. David Brown
