Abstract
The
purpose
of this
study
was to
first
determine
the
availability
of
health
status
monitoring
models
within
the
community
health
arena.
An
assessment
was then
made
as to the
availability
,
quality
and
accessibility
of
existing
health
and
social
indicator
data
sources
relevant
to
Labrador
Inuit.
To
investigate
the
quality
and
practicality
of the
data
sources
, a
conceptual
and
analytical
framework
was
developed
from a
review
of the
concepts
of
measurement
,
measurement
tools
and
health
status
indicator
selection.
Following
this
investigative
process
, a
data
collection
model
was
proposed
that
could
be
used
over
time
within
the
region
of
interest
,
utilizing
components
of the
data
and
information
sources
inventory.
--
The
evidence
from this
thesis
indicates
that a
great
deal
of
information
exists
about
the
population
of
concern.
This
information
can
be
used
to
measure
health
status.
As
well
, a
number
of
excellent
tools
have been
developed
to
measure
population
health;
one
of these
tools
can
be
adapted
to
fit
regional
needs
at this
time.
The
thesis
concludes
by
making
a
number
of
recommendations
for
supporting
the
development
of a
comprehensive
health
status
monitoring
instrument
for a
small
population.
