Inuit parent perspectives on sexual health communication with adolescent children in Nunavut: Its kinda hard for me to try to find the words

摘要

BackgroundFor Inuit, the family unit has always played a central role in life and in survival. Social changes in Inuit communities have resulted in significant transformations to economic, political and cultural aspects of Inuit society. Where the family unit was once the setting for dialogue on family relations and sexuality, this has largely been replaced by teachings from the medical community and/or the school system.
