Naasautit: Inuit Health Statistics is a national project to enable Inuit regional organizations and communities to make better use of existing statistics on Inuit health. The two-year project is funded through the Aboriginal Health Transition Fund of Health Canada. The Naasautit project aims to develop information systems to describe and monitor the health determinants and conditions of the 50,485 Inuit in over 50 remote Arctic communities and across Canada.
The Naasautit project is a joint initiative of the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services, the Nunatsiavut Government, the Inuit Tuttarvingat, and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.
Data will be available in the summer of 2010. Thank you for your patience.
