This article highlights an innovative action research project that required the researcher to build trusting relationships with high school-aged Aboriginal women. A core group of young Aboriginal women developed action initiatives to support opportunities to discuss body image experiences. Some of the actions were also designed to raise awareness about the issue beyond their own communities.
Note: Each edition of Research Update normally includes two research articles. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the December 2009 issue includes only one article. Future editions will continue to include two articles.
