摘要:This issue focuses on presenting the Center for Alaska Native Health Research Study, an entity of interesting and well-written articles concerning participatory research on obesity as well as chronic disease-related protective and risk factors. The results of this study entity may help health professionals in other regions of the Circumpolar North in their own professional problem-solving. We at IJCH are hoping to receive feedback from our readers who feel that our “From a Region to Regions” feature offers some added value for their own health care solutions. The IJCH thanks Brian Saylor, the special editor of this issue, and his coworkers for this excellent example of circumpolar health professionalism.
