Identifying higher education research priorities at a regional Australian university
Setting priorities is crucial for optimising research in resource-constrained environments, so we identify higher education (HE) research priorities at one regional Australian university. Employing constructivism, we conducted a three-round modified-Delphi with an expert panel (n = 64) using online questionnaires. Analysis included descriptive statistics (quantitative items), and content/theme analysis (qualitative). We collected 37 panellist-ide…
Are the circumpolar inuit becoming obese
This paper reviews the ethnographic, historical, and recent epidemiological evidence of obesity among the Inuit/Eskimo in the circumpolar region. The Inuit are clearly at higher risk for obesity than other populations globally, if “universal” measures based on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference and criteria such as those of WHO are used. Inuit women in particular have very high mean waist circumference levels in international compariso…
Cardiovascular diseases in a Canadian Arctic population
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to review cardiovascular mortality, morbidity, and risk factors in the multiethnic population of the Northwest Territories, Canada. METHODS. We analyzed death certificates and hospital records, and used a community health and examination survey. RESULTS. The age-standardized mortality rate for ischemic heart disease (but not for other heart diseases or stroke) among the Northwest Territories population wa…
Excessive burden of end-state renal disease among Canadian Indians
Analysis of data from the Canadian National Renal Failure Register indicates that Canadian Natives are at much higher risk for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) than the Canadian population in general. Using two population estimates for the total Native population, the age-standardized incidence rate of newly registered ESRD cases between 1981 and 1986 among Natives was at least 2.5 times (and may be as high as four times) the national rate. Natives…
Ethnic variation in cholecystectomy rates and outcomes, Manitoba, Canada, 1972-84
We used population-based data from the Province of Manitoba's universal health insurance plan to compare the cholecystectomy experience of Native Americans and non-Natives from 1972 to 1984. The age-adjusted cholecystectomy rates for Native females were higher than for non-Native females with the peak rate occurring at age 30-39 for Native Americans and at age 60-69 for non-Natives. The rates for males were three times lower than for females and …
Socialist Development and Primary Health Care
The experience of Tanzania in implementing primary health care (PHC) within the context of an official socialist orientation is examined. Attention is paid in particular to the colonial legacy, health manpower, resource allocation, external aid and pharmaceutical supplies, areas where incongruities with a
A case-control study to evaluate the effectiveness of mass neonatal BCG vaccination among Canadian Indians
This paper reports a case-control study to assess the protective effect of BCG (bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccination among Indian infants in Manitoba, Canada. A record of past BCG vaccination was found in 49 per cent of the tuberculosis cases, compared to 77 per cent of the controls, yielding a relative risk of 0.30. Stratified analysis, controlling for age, increased the relative risk to 0.39 (95% confidence interval 0.22 - 0.69). The preventive…

Cancer surveillance in a remote Indian population in northwestern Ontario
The incidence and mortality rates of malignant neoplasms in an isolated Indian population in northwestern Ontario, Canada during the period 1972-81 were determined and age-adjusted comparisons with the Canadian national population computed. Indian men were at half the risk of developing and dying from cancer compared to Canadian men, while among women the risks were similar. The most outstanding feature was the high mortality and incidence rates …
