Winnipeg, MB, Canada: Manitoba Metis Federation.

Department of Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada; Health & Wellness Department, Manitoba Metis Federation, Winnipeg, MB, Canada

This report resulted from the need to further understand findings in the Metis Health Status & Health Services Utilization Study (also known as the Metis Atlas) (Martens, Bartlett, et al., 2010). In that study, higher rates of IHD were found in Metis1 compared to All Other Manitobans in Manitoba. The purpose of this report is to build on baseline information from the Metis Atlas to support the need of Regional Knowledge Networks for more detailed information to guide assessment of Manitoba Health programs and services.
