Project gathered information on health, well-being and access to health services that would inform policy planning, delivery of programs, and measurement of outcomes.
Examines existing programs operating in Canada, evidence of impact on service utilization, health, and overall quality of life, and the need for Indigenous components in addictions treatment.
Looks at women's experiences in Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal. Research involved literature review and interviews with forty-six Inuit women, twenty-two service providers, and, when possible, focus groups. Four objectives of study were to identify motivations for migration/relocation to urban centres, examine challenges faced, discuss primary effects on roles and responsibilities, and to identify supports needed.
