| dc.description.abstract | The living conditions of Canadian children have a strong impact on their health. Social determinants of health associated with poverty have led to increases in the rate of infant mortality and low birth weight in Canada. In terms of the impact that living conditions have on children’s health, Canada performs poorly when compared to other countries. | en_US |
