The focus of the broader study is on the health status and risk factors in these native populations. This research, based on a survey conducted in 1983-84, describes the present health status and health-care system of the Cree and Inuit, then presents a path analysis model of their use of health services. The purpose of this approach is to provide health planners and care providers with useful information and to encourage the development of well-organized and reasonable health-care service delivery to these populations. northern Quebec native populations perception and utilization of health-care path analysis models
