Metis health in Canada: a scoping review of Metis-specific health literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Métis are a culturally unique and distinct population, yet little research has evaluated their health separate from the broader Indigenous population. We sought to explore current literature regarding the health of Métis Peoples in Canada and identify potential trends and gaps.

Methods

Using the Arksey-O'Malley, 5-stage, scoping review method, we searched PubMed, MEDLINE, iPortal Indigenous Articles Portal Research Tool and pertinent reference lists using the terms "Métis," "health" and "Canada." Two reviewers conducted the initial searches independently, including English articles from 2012 to 2022, and focused on only Métis populations' health within Canada. We described characteristics of the articles and themes for discussion.

Results
