Participation in Aboriginal Study

Recruitment

My Name is Kim McKay-McNabb and I am conducting researching with Aboriginal people who have been effected by HIV/AIDS(diagnosed) or have been affected (relative has been diagnosed with) HIV/AIDS. I am currently a Ph.D. student in Clinical Psychology at University of Regina. I am a First Nations woman from George Gordon First Nation in Saskatchewan. I have been affected by HIV, as my eldest sister was diagnosed in the late nineteen eighties. I conduct research in her memory along with my commitment to our Aboriginal communities to strive for the betterment of our health and to empower and give voice to those who are living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. I will continue to work in this area for my life’s work. I am interested in learning about the life experiences of Aboriginal communities who have been affected by HIV/AIDS.
