Abstract
A study of family practice in a small rural community in northwestern Ontario was conducted over a one year period from January 1, 1975 - December 31, 1975.
An attempt was made to define the population at risk and, in addition to recording morbidity in terms of illness episodes, study was made of referral patterns in the practice, the use of a small hospital staffed solely by a family physician, and differences in morbidity between Indian and non-Indian patients.
