KSDPP Context & History
Kahnawake
Identity: Kanien'kehá:ka - Mohawk Location: Southwest of Montréal, QuébecPopulation: ~8000
The Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project (KSDPP) designs and implements intervention activities for schools, families and community to prevent type 2 diabetes through the promotion of healthy eating, physical activity and positive attitude for present and future Kahnawakero:non and for other Aboriginal communities.
KSDPP conducts community based research on these activities, trains community intervention workers and academic and community researchers and reports all research results to the community.
The purpose of the KSDPP Code of Research Ethics is to establish a set of principles and procedures that will guide the partners to achieve the goals and objectives of the KSDPP.
The KSDPP Code of Research Ethics outlines
the obligations of the partners throughout all phases of the research process.
Both schools reported taking action towards integrating physical activity into various school subjects, but more consistent incorporation is needed.

Sport Surfaces
I would like a soccer field in our school yard to kick on the net.
Students expressed interest in more sport surfaces both at school and in the community:
Soccer field Tennis court Baseball field Ice surface
Information Used
Adult focus groups◦Need to use locally relevant data
◦PA opportunities are limited, need to diversify
◦Policy needs to be flexible and formed by those who will apply it
◦Need more human resources for PA programming
◦Other school policies may not support extracurricular work of the P.E. teacher
The produced policy document is prefaced by a philosophical statement and outlines guiding principles and recommendations to create or increase opportunities for physical activity in the following target areas:
1) Physical education2) Lunch and recess 3) Extracurricular physical activities4) Classroom5) Family6) Community
7) Staff8) Active transportation9) Safety
Recommendations for implementation and evaluation of the policy are also included in the document.
