This study is primarily about vulnerable populations, showing that in areas where people have been effected by major disasters, domestic violance increases, especially in households with lower overall socioeconomic status.

Amerindian populations in Canada have been plauged with mental illness and suicide for many decades, and  even though there were studies done and extensive research available, there was very little done to respond to this crisis, allowing it to keep reoccuring. 

Three major ways the arguements are supported are as follows

1. Statistics and analisys of policies pertaining to the healthcare system available to the effected populaitons
2. Historical background to establish where such policies came from and how they may continue to work in the future
3. First hand accounts from both those effected by chernobyl related illness and the health care practitioners who treat them.
