Joint U.S.- U.S.S.R Workshop: Native Welfare and Vital Statistics in the Soviet Northeast and Alaska

这个研讨会提案将汇集美国和苏联专家，目的是比较苏联东北部和阿拉斯加农村北部定居点的人口和社会学数据。这些数据对于了解北部社区的生存能力以及暴力、自杀、预期寿命和保健服务等问题至关重要。该讲习班将是俄罗斯和美国研究人员之间关于北极人口和生命统计数据的第一次重要数据交换，并将为今后在这一关键领域的联合研究提供基础。

This workshop proposal will bring together US and Soviet experts for purposes of comparing population and sociological data on rural northern settlements in the Soviet Northeast and Alaska. These data are essential for understanding northern community viability, and problems such as violence, suicide, life expectancy and health care delivery. The workshop will be the first significant data exchange of Arctic demographic and vital statistics between Russian and American researchers, and will provide a basis for future joint research within this critical area.
