Circumpolar Health Bibliographic Database

The Circumpolar Health Bibliographic Database (CHBD) is a free[1] electronic database of abstracts, citations, geographic and subject indexing, library codes and their links to full text publications, both peer-reviewed and gray literature.

[2] Established in 2007, it contains more than sixty five hundred records that describe human health in the circumpolar region.

The CHBD is a circumpolar chronic disease prevention project of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

[4] The CHBD was initially constructed with records from the Arctic Institute of North America's database.

[2] The Circumpolar Health Observatory, proposed in May 2008 in Norway, would disseminate its data through the CHBD.
