Description

To address the inadequacy of mainstream environmental assessment methodologies for assessing the health, social, and cultural impacts of concern for Canadian Indigenous communities affected by industrialization, the authors present a holistic, culturally-appropriate framework for selecting Indigenous health indicators for baseline health assessment, impact prediction, and monitoring of impacts over time. This model conceptualizes individual and community determinants as a product of multiple intersecting determinants of health that span social, economic, and political contexts.
