COMmunity-based nutrition RISK in Indigenous communities (COMRISK-Indigenous)

Poor nutrition is common in older adults and may be even higher in Indigenous communities than the general population. Yet, nutrition risk is rarely assessed as part of a health check-up. In this project, a First Nation and an interdisciplinary team will work in partnership to determine how to address poor nutrition in that community. The Mitacs intern will collate, interpret and communicate outcomes in order to generate a pathway for moving forward.
