Risk factors and chronic conditions among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations
"Background: In Canada, the prevalence of behavioural risk factors and chronic conditions differs for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations, but little research has examined changes over time. This study compares several major risk factors and chronic conditions in Aboriginal and non-Aborig...
