The 2012 APS represents the fourth cycle of the survey and focuses on issues of education, employment and health.

The article “Inuit health: Selected findings from the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey” reports on the self-reported health status and chronic conditions of Inuit aged 15 years and older. Also covered are health behaviors such as smoking and drinking, and selected determinants of health such as food insecurity, access to health care, housing and culture. The results are for all Inuit in Canada, presented by the total population, inside and outside Inuit Nunangat and the four Inuit regions.
