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.
