Is Geographical Isolation Associated with Poorer Outcomes for Northern Manitoba First Nation Communities?
This study tested the assumption that geographical isolation is associated with poorer population health outcomes among First Nations in Manitoba. Our results show higher premature mortality rates (PMR) in northern communities, declining slower than for any other Manitoba communities. Our results al...
