Injury is the leading cause of death for Canadians aged 1 to 44 and disproportionately impacts indigenous populations. Similar to chronic and infectious disease, risk of injury is shaped and molded by biophysical and social contexts. This thesis develops an approach to better understand determinants of injury, delineating between distal and proximal causes. The approach is empirically applied to understand determinants of land-use injuries in the Inuit territory of Nunavut. In the region, traveling on the land and sea for hunting is important for food security, health, and identity. Over the past decade however, rates of search and rescue (SAR) have more than doubled. The thesis work examines biophysical aspects of risk through a quantitati...
