Improving the Health of Canadians

Improving the Health of Canadians, 2004 is the first in a biennial report series produced by the Canadian Population Health Initiative (CPHI). It examines what we know about factors that affect the health of Canadians, ways to improve our health and the implications of policy choices on health. The report focuses on four key issues — income, early childhood development, Aboriginal peoples' health and obesity — and builds on earlier reports from the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Committee on Population Health.
