There are many geographical, meteorological, transport and resource management issues to be addressed and better studied regarding this population. Thus, our study aims to examine the delivery of trauma and acute surgical care to the population of Northern Quebec. It is important to mention that there is a great lack of epidemiological resources for this population, hence the great interest in conducting this study.</p> Thu, 04 Nov 2021 23:13:06 +0000 Mehrshad Bakhshi and Evan Wong 2778 at /globalhealth Understanding health holistically: Grounding quantitative work in qualitative findings through the operationalization of a holistic indicator of Inuit health and well-being /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-equity-indigenous/understanding-health-holistically-grounding-quantitative-work-qualitative-findings-through <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:59:58 +0000 Morgen Bertheussen, Mylène Riva 2749 at /globalhealth Networks for Change and Well-Being: Addressing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in South Africa and Canada /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-africa-americas-global-indigenous-health-women-and-child-health/networks-change-and-well-being-addressing-sexual-and-gender-based-violence-south <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:06:25 +0000 Catherine Dillman, Claudia Mitchell 2750 at /globalhealth Addressing Health Challenges in Developing Countries: Innovations related to Neglected Diseases in Brazil /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-infectious-diseases/addressing-health-challenges-developing-countries-innovations-related-neglected-diseases-brazil <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:21:00 +0000 Isabela Elias Ferraz, Paola Perez-Aleman 2751 at /globalhealth Youth mental health services in Indigenous Contexts /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-indigenous-health-non-communicable-diseases/youth-mental-health-services-indigenous-contexts <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:50:10 +0000 Sofia Hempelmann Perez, Srividya Iyer, Gregory Brass 2752 at /globalhealth Improving the Quality of Trauma and Acute Surgical Care in Northern Quebec: Quantifying Current Capacity to Target Future Interventions /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-infectious-diseases-non-communicable-diseases/improving-quality-trauma-and-acute-surgical-care-northern-quebec-quantifying-current <h2>Abstract</h2> <p><strong>Background</strong>: Northern Quebec presents unique challenges making it difficult to deliver trauma care due to its remoteness, extreme weather conditions, lack of transport systems, and shortage of health care professionals. To evaluate the trauma and surgical portfolio of Nunavik, we propose the use of validated assessment tools previously implemented in under-resourced settings overseas.<br /> <br /></p> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 21:10:58 +0000 Allyson Kis, Evan Wong 2754 at /globalhealth Human Milk Microbiota in an Indigenous Population Is Associated with Maternal Factors, Stage of Lactation, and Breastfeeding Practices /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-non-communicable-diseases-women-and-child-health/human-milk-microbiota-indigenous-population-associated-maternal-factors-stage-lactation <h2>Abstract</h2> <p><strong>Background</strong>: Human milk contains a diverse community of bacteria that are modified by maternal factors, but whether these or other factors are similar in developing countries has not been explored.
