“Do something with them!”: developing “comfortable” engagement with Elders participating in an arts-based sexual health promotion and STBBI prevention workshop for Indigenous Youth in Labrador, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although Indigenous Elders were traditionally involved in cross-generational health promotion and education, colonisation disrupted this role. Little research examines the role of Elders in contemporary health promotion for Indigenous youth and few strategies have been identified to engage Elders in health promotion or sexual health education. We explored engagement of Elders through participatory filmmaking in a sexual health and HIV education workshop for youth. Eleven youth and five Elders participated in this 3.5-day workshop. During the workshop, Elders indicated they wanted to make a film and attend a sexual health and HIV education session. Four Elders were interviewed about their experiences. Interview transcripts and the Elders' film were analysed using content analysis. Although Elders initially felt hesitant to engage, the process of participatory filmmaking allowed Elders to co-create an environment for their "comfortable" workshop engagement. Elders' feelings of comfort were created by having control and sense of ownership over their engagement; the presence of youth; peer-based dialogue; inclusion of traditional items; and an Indigenous sexual health educator. Findings suggest participatory filmmaking is a promising approach for engaging and empowering Elders to reclaim traditional roles in sexual health education and health promotion with Indigenous youth.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
