- 1. Is the injury gap closing between the Aboriginal and general populations of British Columbia? ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201500114131Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This study provides an overview of trends in hospitalization injury rates between the Aboriginal and total populations of British Columbia. Hospital discharge records from 1986 through 2010 were obtained from linked health care databases maintained by Population Data BC.
Release date: 2015-01-21 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201400211902Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on 2004/2005 to 2009/2010 data from the Discharge Abstract Database, this study examines associations between unintentional injury hospitalizations and socio-economic status and location relative to an urban core in Dissemination Areas with a high percentage of First Nations identity residents versus a low percentage of Aboriginal identity residents based on the predominant Aboriginal group.
Release date: 2014-02-19 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200311699Geography: CanadaDescription:
Rates of unintentional injury hospitalization were calculated for 0- to 19-year-olds in census Dissemination Areas (DAs) where at least 33% of residents reported an Aboriginal identity. DAs were classified as high-percentage First Nations, Métis or Inuit identity based on the predominant group.
Release date: 2012-08-15 - 4. Non-fatal injuries among Aboriginal Canadians ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20040027786Geography: CanadaDescription:
This Health Reports article presents in 2000-2001 and 2003, about 20% of the off-reserve Aboriginal population in the provinces reported having had an activity-limiting injury in the past year, compared with 14% of other provincial residents. In the territories, injury rates of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people did not differ significantly.
Release date: 2005-03-15 - 5. Well-being of off-reserve Aboriginal children ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20040037734Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article describes the well-being of off-reserve Aboriginal children aged 14 and under, using data from the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) to focus on off-reserve Aboriginal children with respect to health and well-being, education, and learning and use of Aboriginal languages. It is adapted from A Portrait of Aboriginal Children Living in Non-reserve Areas: Results from the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 89-597-XWE).
Release date: 2004-12-07 - Journals and periodicals: 89-597-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This article presents information on health, education and language for Métis, Inuit and North American Indian children living in non-reserve areas. It uses the 'children and youth' component of the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS).
Release date: 2004-07-09 - 7. Police-reported Aboriginal Crime in Saskatchewan ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 85F0031XGeography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan area, Census agglomerationDescription:
Data on Aboriginal status contained in this report are based on self-reported (Census) and/or observational (crime) data. They provide information on the nature and extent of Aboriginal involvement in urban, rural and reserve crime as well as the socio-demographic profile of the population of Saskatchewan.
Based on the 1996 Census data, the Aboriginal population in Saskatchewan tend to be younger, have lower educational levels, higher unemployment rates, and substantially lower incomes than the non-Aboriginal population. Crime rates on reserves were two times higher than rates in rural or urban areas of the province. For violent offences, the rate was almost five times higher on-reserve than in urban or rural areas.
In all three areas (reserves, urban and rural areas), a larger proportion of adults than youth was accused of a violent offence or an "other" Criminal Code offence. In contrast, youth were more often accused of a property offence than any other offence type. In urban areas, there is an over-representation of Aboriginal persons involved in the criminal justice system. In 1997, more than one-half (52%) of those accused in Prince Albert, Regina and Saskatoon were Aboriginal compared to their 9% proportion in the population of these cities.
A substantial difference in the male-female ratio of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal accused was found. Although the majority of all those accused were male, there was a greater proportion of Aboriginal female than non-Aboriginal female accused. Aboriginal accused tended to be younger than non-Aboriginal accused. Almost one-third (31%) of Aboriginal accused were aged 12 to 17 years of age compared to 23% of non-Aboriginal accused.
In the two cities where victim data were available (Regina and Prince Albert), there was a greater proportion of Aboriginal than non-Aboriginal victims of violent crime compared to their proportion in the overall population of these cities. In 1997, 42% of victims in Prince Albert and Regina were Aboriginal, compared to their 10% proportion in the population of these cities.
