1993 Summary:
The researchers will complete their assessment of different health care systems in order to determine the most cost-effective, flexible and appropriate system for the Inuvik region. The primary goal of this study is to compare costs associated with delivery health care through the `community-based nurse' model and the `medical' model. By collecting information from Dept. of Health sources, this ...

In previous research in the 1970's, experiments and surveys provided information on the recovery rates of vegetation in response to disturbances from human activities. Several predictions about the long-term recovery of vegetation were made at that time. We are now collecting data to determine if these predictions reflect what is actually occurring. This information provides information about l...
