Exploration of inter-jurisdictional TB programming and mobility in a Canadian First Nation community.

Background: Colonially imposed jurisdictional boundaries that have little meaning to Indigenous peoples in Canada may confound tuberculosis (TB) prevention and care activities. This study explores how inter-jurisdictional mobility and the current accommodation of mobility through policies and programming sustain a regional TB epidemic in northwestern Saskatchewan, and northeastern Alberta.

Methods: A qualitative instrumental case study was performed using a community based participatory approach.
