The DRUM & SASH Project
Development of a Rural Model for Integrated Shared Care in First Nation and Métis (SASH) Communities
First Nation and Métis Communities Working in Partnership to Develop Shared Care Models for HIV and other STBBIs
Our team works with communities of different Indigenous cultures and in different regions, supporting each other as we improve HIV, Hep C and other STBBI prevention and care services within a shared care model for First Nation and Métis communities.
With funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) HIV/AIDS Implementation Science Component 1 (Adaptation) grant and additional funding from the CIHR Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN), we are building upon ten years of previous work with the Aboriginal Community Resilience to HIV/AIDS (ACRA) project through continued partnership with three Northern Alberta First Nation communities. DRUM is culturally grounded, community-led and based on identified strengths. We are working together to develop, test and evaluate a shared-care model (SCM) for HIV, Hep C and other STBBI prevention and care services on-reserve that can be adapted for other communities.
