About us
The Centre for Sami Health Research (CSHR), Sámi dearvvašvuođadutkama guovvdáš, is an independent centre under the Department of Community Medicine at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. The main aim of the CSHF is to enhance knowledge of the health and life of Sami people in Norway.
The emphasis in the CSHF is on interdisciplinary research, mainly population-based studies using quantitative methods. The Population-based Study on Health and Living Conditions in Regions with Sami and Norwegian Populations – SAMINOR is the most important research project of the centre. Two surveys have been conducted to date, SAMINOR 1 from 2003 to 2004, and SAMINOR 2 from 2012 to 2014. The CSHF is already planning its third survey, SAMINOR 3.
The CSHF has been commissioned by the Ministry of Health and Care Services (HOD) to conduct research on the health and life of Sami people in Norway, and HOD provides basic funding for the centre. However, many of the projects are financed by external funding.
