Study examines tobacco, alcohol and illicit drug use among Aboriginal youth living off-reserve

Monday, May 9, 2011

Research by Waterloo’s Propel Centre for Population Health Impact highlights the need for culturally appropriate prevention and cessation policies and programs for this at-risk population.
