Conditions
Summary
This study is looking at how eating more country foods affects mental health among Inuit men and women in Arviat, NU. The goal is to evaluate if eating more of these foods helps people feel less depressed or anxious, and whether being part of food-gathering and cultural activities also makes a difference. Whether the positive effects last over time, and if getting access to these foods later (instead of right away) still helps people feel better, will also be assessed.
