Indigenous Chronic Disease Toolkit

How to Use the Toolkit

The toolkit stands up like a tent card and is designed with one side for the healthcare worker presenting the information and the other side for the patient.

Healthcare Provider Side

The top right corner of the healthcare worker’s side has an image of what the patient is seeing on the page in front of them. The healthcare worker side also has detailed information to describe the image that the patient is looking at.

Patient Side

On the other side, the patient is looking at a picture or diagram with minimal text to describe a chronic disease or prevention concept.

This toolkit was created in partnership with Indigenous community members, who shared stories of their chronic disease experiences, and with guidance from the Joint Ontario Indigenous Cancer Committee.
