Dr. Cindy Jardine’s research program involves health risk communication with ‘at-risk’ and/or structurally disadvantaged communities and populations, with a specific focus on addressing inequities. Much of her work is done in partnership with Indigenous Peoples and immigrant communities, primarily in the areas of Indigenous youth mental wellness, immunization decision-making and epidemic/pandemic risk communication. Dr. Jardine endeavours to use a strength-based approach in the development of communications, interventions and/or policies that recognizes the cultural knowledge, skills, abilities, potential, and support networks inherent to individuals and populations, and promotes agency over their own risks.
