Objective(s): To investigate causes of Fort McPherson's high suicide rate and the role which alcohol may play.
Project Description: Under the direction of the Peel River Alcohol Society and Fort McPherson Concerned Citizens Committee a community based research project will be established. This research will attempt to understand why Fort McPherson has such a high suicide rate. It is hoped that once an understanding of the reason(s) is established then plans can be made to lower the rate of suicide.
