Scope and content
From the beginning of his professional career, Professor le Riche’s undertook a number of health surveys, the earliest in 1938-1939. The earliest surviving project in this series is a health and social survey of the European woodcutters of Veldsmanspad, Knysna, Cape Province, which he undertook between 1945 and 1948.
In Canada, as an expert in the field of preventative medicine, Professor le Riche was frequently called upon to conduct studies and prepare reports on various aspects of the local, provincial and national health care system. Some of his reports resulted from the work he did while a research medical officer (1954-1957) for Physicians’ Services Incorporated of Toronto; others arose from his work for the federal government on the Downtown Toronto Health Attitude Survey in the 1970s.
