Something new for 2005
The new year brings some changes to …au courant that
will allow us to provide summary information about more of our projects.
Instead of one feature article, we will provide several short summaries
of articles published by our analysts and external collaborators.
In this issue, the Recent releases section highlights these
findings:
in Montréal, neighbourhood
had an impact on health over and above the impact of individual
risk factors;
in British Columbia, infant mortality
rates were higher for First Nations than non-First Nations infants,
mostly due to post-neonatal mortality;
in Ontario, primary caregivers
of children with cerebral palsy had more health problems and were
less likely to work for pay than caregivers of children in general
in
Quebec, mothers living in common-law unions were more likely to
have had adverse pregnancy outcomes that those in traditional marriages.
You may have seen some of these findings, which had considerable
media coverage over the past few months.
We will continue to provide highlights of our Work
in progress, Announcements, and Seminars
and presentations.
