| Annotation | Over the last century Inuit have experienced rapid social changes that have greatly impacted their way of life, health and intergenerational traditions. Although there is a growing body of research concerning Inuit youth, relatively little is known about older Inuit. In an effort to bridge this knowledge gap, a systematic review of peer-reviewed journal articles was conducted. This review identified a dearth of research on older Inuit and highlighted limitations in service provision to this primarily rural and isolated population. Implications for policy and practice and recommendations for future research are also discussed. (JL). |
