Abstract

Objectives: This article articulates the complexity of modeling in First Nations, Metis, and Inuit contexts by providing the results of a modeling exercise completed at the request of the First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba Methods: We developed a model using the impact of a previous pandemic (the 2009 H1N1) to generate estimates Results: The lack of readily available data has resulted in a model that assumes homogeneity of communities in terms of health status, behaviour, and infrastructure limitations While homogeneity may be a reasonable assumption for province-wide planning, First Nation communities and Tribal Councils require more precise information in order to plan effectively Metis and urban Inuit communities, in contrast, have access to much less information, making the role of Indigenous organizations mandated to serve the needs of these populations that much more difficult Conclusion: For many years, Indigenous organizations have advocated for the need to have access to current and precise data to meet their needs The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the importance of timely and accurate community-based data to support pandemic responses
新冠肺炎大流行对原住民、梅蒂人和因纽特人社区影响的建模:一些考虑因素
目的:本文阐述了第一民族、Metis、,根据曼尼托巴省第一民族卫生和社会秘书处的要求,通过提供建模工作的结果,了解因纽特人的情况。方法:我们开发了一个模型,利用前一次大流行(2009年H1N1流感)的影响来生成估计数。结果:由于缺乏现成的数据,行为和基础设施限制虽然同质性可能是全省规划的合理假设,但原住民社区和部落委员会需要更精确的信息才能有效规划Metis和城市因纽特人社区,相比之下,他们获得的信息要少得多,使被授权为满足这些人口需求的土著组织的作用变得更加困难结论:多年来,土著组织一直主张有必要获得最新和准确的数据来满足他们的需求新冠肺炎大流行表明及时和准确的社区数据对支持应对大流行的重要性
