How do health, spirituality and well-being intersect in the Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) Region 3? A Métis-guided, community-based, participatory study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe purpose of our research was to understand intersections between health, spirituality and well-being in the Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) Region 3.
designThis Métis-guided, community-based, participatory research builds on our previous patient-oriented community-based study where we co-developed a qualitative structured survey with leaders, Elders and community members to explore health, spirituality and well-being in the MNA Region 3.
settingMétis people are affected by historical and contemporary impacts of colonisation. This includes the residential school experience, impacting how Métis people relate to themselves, to others and to their culture. Alberta has the highest Métis population in Canada, and our research is based in the most densely populated region.
participants101 surveys were completed between September and November 2021, via Qualtrics. Twenty-five participants who completed surveys participated in community-based participatory research sharing circle data analysis groups in January 2022, via Zoom.
resultsSix overarching themes were developed in our participatory data analysis: (1) searching, (2) interconnectedness, (3) colonisation and systems, (4) traditional practices and teachings, (5) spiritual and religious practices and (6) relationship with Métis identity.
conclusionsWe discovered multiple intersections between health, spirituality and well-being within the MNA Region 3. Our results indicate that the impacts of colonisation for Métis people are poorly understood. More research is needed to understand the ongoing impacts of colonisation, including increased understanding about Métis identity, health, spirituality, religion and well-being. In particular, more research is needed about the effects of intergenerational trauma in the broader MNA, and across Canada.
