This article reports findings from a cross-sectional health survey of Inuit children aged 3-5 years related to socioeconomic status, health behaviours and health histories. The study found a high prevalence of Inuit preschoolers lived in crowded dwellings, public housing, or homes in need of major repairs; the majority of preschoolers' mothers smoked during pregnancy; breastfeeding initiation was very high; nearly half of Inuit preschoolers had been hospitalized within the past year; and over 40% had to be taken to the health centre or hospital for a respiratory problem.
