Différenciation sociale et spatiale de la mortalité au Saguenay (Québec). Validation d'un registre de décès pour des analyses à micro-échelle

Abstract: Plusieurs études, qu'elles soient conduites à l'échelle canadienne, québécoise ou régionale, ont permis d'établir clairement que la région du Saguenay (Québec) connaît une surmortalité qui perdure.
