The Burden of Acute Gastrointestinal Illness and Health Research Knowledge Translation in Inuit Communities
This thesis research sought to answer two questions: “What is the burden of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) for Inuit in Iqaluit, Nunavut?” and “What does the literature tell us about knowledge translation (KT) in Inuit communities in the Circumpolar North?” Data analysis from two population-le...
