Intervention Research & Program Science

Building Programs With Purpose, Led By Community

Feast is driving a new era of Indigenous health research where communities aren’t just consulted – they’re leading.

Through intervention research and program science, we co-create pathways to STBBI prevention, care, and treatment that reflect Indigenous priorities and result in measurable impact across health policy and practice.

Community-Guided Research Foci

We centre the voices of Indigenous STBBI community stakeholders and program implementers in shaping the questions and outcomes that matter.

Whether focusing on prevention, care, or treatment, Indigenous leadership defines what success looks like.

Policy & Program Impact

The outcomes of this work don’t sit on a shelf.

By developing and refining Indigenous STBBI interventions alongside communities, our research directly informs health policies, funding frameworks, and the effectiveness of public health programs.

Defining Effectiveness On Indigenous Terms

Through culturally grounded metrics and evaluation methods, we show what truly works for Indigenous communities.

This research affirms the value, wisdom, and strength of Indigenous approaches to health and healing – and demonstrates impact beyond the clinic, across entire communities.
