The meeting brought together 31 participants from across the Arctic, including Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, students, and health professionals. The aim was to enhance collaboration among circumpolar health networks and to develop a mentorship program supporting young scholars. Sessions included mapping exercises, regional health updates, and discussions on ethics, education, collaboration, and community engagement. Participants identified overlapping mandates, gaps in coordination, and opportunities for joint initiatives across different health networks and societies. The meeting emphasized inclusive, community-based approaches and the integration of Indigenous knowledge. Action items for the coming years include developing and evaluating a model for mentorship in circumpolar health research, enhancing ethical research practices, and continuing the work and conversation of coordinating efforts across health networks. The workshop was concluded with a strong sense of shared purpose and commitment to advancing health and well-being in Arctic communities through strengthened collaborative in both research and education.","PeriodicalId":13930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Circumpolar Health","volume":"85 1","pages":"2634480"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12947281/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147289834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the centralization of maternity services increasingly requires pregnant women to travel away from their home communities to give birth, often alone and without familial support. This qualitative study explores the perspectives of 20 pregnant women and their families across the five health regions, using the Peqqissuserput model of Kalaallit Inuit health and wellbeing to understand sociocultural dimensions of health and well-being. Four key themes emerged: practicalities and birthing, being together or alone, family formation, and identity and sense of belonging. Findings reveal that centralization disrupts Kalaallit Inuit birth culture, diminishes the woman's role as the central figure, and leads to emotional distress, loss of shared family memories, and weakened community ties. In contrast, local births foster emotional support, cultural continuity, and a stronger sense of belongingness to the community for newborns. The study underscores that childbirth is deeply rooted in relational and cultural processes. Drawing on comparative Indigenous models, the findings advocate for culturally grounded, community-based maternity care that restores autonomy, strengthens family and intergenerational bonds, and preserves Inuit birthing practices in Kalaallit Nunaat.","PeriodicalId":13930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Circumpolar Health","volume":"85 1","pages":"2630454"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12912237/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146179161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the study has faced challenges in ensuring sufficient school-based participation and individual-level compliance, potentially diminishing the representativeness and validity of the study results. We examined how variations in data collection and survey strategies across waves of data collection in 2018, 2022 and 2024 may have influenced participation and compliance rates by comparing differences observed across the three waves. We found that secondary onsite support, targeted follow-ups, scheduling dates for data collection, supporting school engagement and leveraging local authority networks were effectful in increasing school-based participation. Compliance was significantly associated with the survey administration mode and was likely related to school engagement. Respondent fatigue remained a barrier for sufficient compliance; however, electronic, revisitable survey administration has mitigated this challenge. This study concludes that applying meaningful strategies during recruitment and data collection has real potential to increase school-based participation and compliance and underscores the importance of nesting the study within the local context, community and relations.","PeriodicalId":13930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Circumpolar Health","volume":"85 1","pages":"2644777"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13011088/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147493913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While many predictors of SHC are known, the role of cyber victimisation, particularly cyber sexual harassment, is underexplored. This study examined whether cyberbullying and cyber sexual harassment victimisation predict SHC among 15-year-olds and whether these associations differ by type of harassment. Cross-sectional survey data from 2023 included 1,211 Swedish pupils (response rate 81%, 50.1% girls, mean age 15.2). SHC was measured with the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) symptom checklist. Gender-stratified hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted, controlling for psychosocial factors. Both cyberbullying and cyber sexual harassment were significantly associated with SHC in girls and boys, independent of loneliness, school stress, social support and social media use. Among the dimensions of cyber sexual harassment, unsolicited sexting and degrading name-calling showed the strongest associations with SHC, while sexual exploitation was the weakest predictor. Overall, patterns of victimisation predictors were similar for girls and boys; however, the models explained a greater proportion of variance in SHC among girls. Cyber victimisation is a significant correlate of adolescent SHC, independent of key psychosocial factors. Preventive efforts should address multiple forms of cyber victimisation, with attention to gendered vulnerabilities.","PeriodicalId":13930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Circumpolar Health","volume":"85 1","pages":"2652482"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147608800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, no such work has been done, and contemporary Inuit experiences of racism in the healthcare context have not been systematically documented. We hope that this review will serve as a foundation for scholars, policy makers and/or Inuit-community-based organisations to engage with this issue further. We conducted an environmental scan from 2000 to 2024 of peer-reviewed and grey literature to explore Canadian Inuit experiences of racism in healthcare. Our scan identified 16 sources. We analysed sources using the following: systemic or interpersonal racism, and then distinguishing if racism was explicitly mentioned or inferred by the authors. We found medical evacuation, women's health issues, cancer care and postoperative outcomes to be places where racism in healthcare has been documented. Overall, we hope that this review draws much-needed attention to this issue and contributes to the imagination of a new way of practice.","PeriodicalId":13930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Circumpolar Health","volume":"85 1","pages":"2726014"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13556113/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148911907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many participants identified barriers regarding food and beverage procurement, living in remote communities. Thus, price and convenience were major determinants when purchasing SSB. Participants described various economizing strategies, selecting SSB based on location pricing, type of SSB, and amount purchased. Relatedly, purchasing SSB at community members' homes, \"home stores\", was described as both the most affordable and convenient option. SSB are perceived as simultaneously expensive and affordable in Island Lake Anisininew First Nations due to high food prices.

Although its physiological benefits are well-documented, less is known why people engage in sauna bathing and how they perceive its contribution to health and well-being. To investigate why Swedish women and men engage in sauna bathing and to describe their perceptions of sauna bathing as a health-promoting practice. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire completed by 588 regular sauna bathers (384 women and 204 men). The questionnaire included closed-ended items on health and sauna habits and open-ended questions exploring motivations for sauna bathing. Qualitative data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis, and quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and analytic statistics. Thematic analysis generated a conceptual model of sauna bathing as a health-promoting practice comprising four interconnected themes: mental recovery, social togetherness, purification and physical health. Mental recovery was the prominent motivation among women, whereas social togetherness ranked highest among men. Participants described sauna bathing as promoting relaxation, reflection, social connection, physical recovery, and a sense of cleanliness and renewal. Women reported significantly better perceived sleep quality and reduced perceived bodily pain following sauna bathing, whereas no corresponding significant changes were observed by men. Sauna bathing was perceived as a multidimensional health-promoting practice integrating psychological, social, cultural, and physical dimensions of health. The findings provide a conceptual understanding of why people engage in sauna bathing and support its potential role as a person-centered health promotion strategy. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these self-reported findings.","PeriodicalId":13930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Circumpolar Health","volume":"85 1","pages":"2710003"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13410540/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148602648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
