New Report - Raven's Children III

McCreary is proud to announce the release of  Raven's Children III, a review of the health of Aboriginal youth in BC. The report was overseen by an advisory committee of experts in Aboriginal youth health, and includes data from over 3,000 Aboriginal youth as well as input from more than 100 Aboriginal youth and adults across the province who reviewed the findings.

Using data from the 2008 BC Adolescent Health Survey, the report found many improvements in Aboriginal youth health from 2003, as well as noting differences in the health picture of youth growing up on and off reserve, and areas where improvements can still be made.

Special Groups and Topic Reports: Surveys of specific populations of youth are referred to as "special groups" (ie, street youth, youth in custody centres, sexually exploited youth, etc.). Topic Reports are in-depth secondary analysis of school-based AHS II data. Topics include a closer look at issues like smoking, weight issues, Aboriginal youth in school, Chinese youth in school, etc.

Fact Sheets and Powerpoint Presentations

A series of fact sheets on a variety of topics from the 2008 AHS IV will be added to the site by September 2010. Keep checking back for updates!

Fact Sheets offer research results on a variety of topics using the most recent Adolescent Health Survey data. Some of the Fact Sheets offer a summary of a more detailed report written on a particular topic area. Others, such as the Marijuana Fact Sheet, present detailed analysis only published in the Fact Sheet. McCreary grants permission to duplicate these fact sheets.
